Valjak i prijatelji: Dovoljno je reći… Aki @ Arena Zagreb, Zagreb (Croatia), 26/03/2022
After the sudden passing of Aki Rahimovski, singer and frontman of Parni Valjak, two months ago, the band cancelled planned Croatian tour but left the biggest concert.
The biggest venue on the planned tour, Arena Zagreb, was organised as a memoriam to Aki and his career, with different singers performing with Parni Valjak. The well known names at this sold out concert included Croatian and regional starts like Gibonni, Massimo, Nina Badrić, Davor Gobac, Dino Jelusick and Aki’s own son Kiki Rahimovski, just to name a few.
Aki Rahimovski is irreplaceable, but his colleagues did a great job paying respect to his legacy and helped fans to once again hear and enjoy all those favourite songs live.
A very special and emotional night, for all parties included. Felt really grateful for the opportunity to document evening that special…

My photographs on the cover of the newest live album by Parni Valjak
I am ecstatic, thrilled, proud and very grateful that my photographs are used on the cover of the new live album of Parni Valjak, one of the biggest rock bands, and music names in general, in the ex Yugoslavia region!

Three months after the sold out concert in Arena Zagreb where the band and the guests paid their respect to the late Aki Rahimovski, the singer of this legendary band, Parni Valjak and friends played another sold out concert, last of this kind, in celebration of his work and life.

Spaladium Arena, Split (Croatia), 02/11/2019
Split, second largest city in Croatia was, after Šibenik and Rijeka, my third big concert working for Parni Valjak in 2019, probably the biggest rock band in the region, on their "Runda 44" tour.

"Runda 44" tour, marking the 44 years of the band Parni Valjak, continues and I’m very privileged to follow them as their official photographer on the biggest concerts around Croatia!

Parni Valjak, arguably the biggest rock band in the region, is on the "Runda 44" tour and I got hired to photograph few of their bigger concerts in Croatia — amazing venue of Tvrđava sv. Mihovila in Šibenik being the first on my list!

Shooting the sold out concert of the probably the biggest rock’n’roll band in Croatia and one of the biggest in the ex Yugoslavia region, in front of almost 20 000 people as an official photographer for the band with AAA pass is definitely a dream come true for any concert photographer! :)
