True, we’re in the middle of summer but with today’s crazy weather you never know when a blanket might come handy. And when it comes to blankets, Odeja Škofja Loka is a pretty good choice!
They’ve recently released a new catalogue of their Odeja brand blankets. The photoshoot took place at the beginning of June in a studio in Ljubljana. The photos were done for the new catalogue, internet and other promotional means. The client asked that I add my own touch to the concept, despite having been given very clear instructions. It was great working with Janez and Sara, a top model from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I think the photos turned out great! And what’s even more important – so does the client.
Thanks go out to the whole team who worked tirelessly all day. And to wrap up a successful photoshoot, Odeja Škofja Loka made a present of their comfy slippers to each member of the team. A great way to end the day with a smile on your face!

Nova ljubljanska banka or NLB is the largest slovenian bank. Original advertising agency were given the task of producing a print ad for NLB’s deposits and invited me to join the project. The biggest challenge was definitely locating a good-looking tandem bycicle! Why a tandem? NLB offers both short- and longterm deposits. Well, we eventually found the bike and painted it to NLB colors. The photoshoot was done on location on a great sunny day. It was definitely a joy working on this one!

Here’s another project for road safety, this time the goal is to remind people to fasten their seatbelts. Luna/TBWA advertising agency invited me to this project after the Ministry of Traffic has chosen their creative. The photos were done for the TV ad, which was then followed by other media. The story: life brings a lot of happy and memorable moments. It takes years to reach certain milestones in one’s life, but only a second to take it all away. So fasten your seatbelt – that too only takes a second!

Here’s another football-themed project. I got a call from Babycenter, Slovenia’s largest chain of baby and kids clothes. They have a special collection – baby football outfits. The idea: the youngest Slovenian football team ever! After we decided on the concept of the photos, we put the kids on the set and … away they went! In every direction. What can you expect when you have 11 babies on the set.
It was great fun, but also quite challenging to get the photos right. Especially since everything was shot in the studio, due to cold weather, which means a bit more work in post-production was needed. But the greatest challenge were our future football stars - how do you tell 11 babies to pose and look into the camera? It took a lot of team effort, but the photos turned out great. Big thanks to all the parents and my assistant Klemen Ilovar for motivating and entertaining our young models!
The photos will be used for Babycenter’s magazine, print ads and in-store posters. You might also want to check out the backstage photos (courtesy of Klemen Ilovar) and the making-of video. Like I said - we had a great time!
