I received a Honorary Mention at the Slovenia Press Photo 2010 competition. The jury, headed by Christopher Morris, awarded my photo from Thailand – the portrait of a small boy from Chiang Mai.

Last week I also participated in a workshop held by the famous VII agency, under the mentorship of Ron Haviv. The workshop was part of the Slovenia Press Photo festival. It certainly gave me loads of motivation for new projects. During the workshop we had to photograph a story in Ljubljana, any kind of story. I chose the archaeological excavation grounds, where a friend of mine works. I tried to capture how these guys get absorbed into their work by using multilayer technique. I was on the site for only a couple of hours, so I definitely plan on returning and continuing the series.
The workshop gave me some great ideas and also helped me remember the valuable lesson that good stories are all around us!
