After six studio albums and one unplugged, Croatian band Pips, Chips & Videoclips filmed their concert to be released as a live DVD. Well, today this long waited DVD called "2x2" (they were playing and filming two concerts in two nights at Zagrebački plesni centar in Zagreb, Croatia) is out! You can order your copy on the bands website.
Directed by famous Croatian music video director Radislav Jovanov Gonzo, the DVD contains some of bands greatest hits (and maybe some less known ones) from their 15 years discography history. Accompanying booklet contains photographs that I took on this two nights, plus the ones from the rehearsal the day before, alongside the ones by my colleague and fellow shooter Ksenija Mikor.
To mark this special occasion, I decided to publish a photo book with the photos from this three days in March this year in Zagreb, and the easiest way was to use one of self-publishing services online. For what is my first photo book self-published, I decided to go with Blurb for many different reasons.
