S01E17 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 17. This week, I’m skipping the circles of hell, despite some strong contenders. Maybe in a future episode. For now, the focus finally shifted to something long overdue: the website. I refreshed the homepage photos, simplified the about page, and added a few galleries that had been sitting in drafts for far too long.…

Generator, Kino Šiška
I last saw Generator in 2018, back when I could still attend a concert without a camera – and I still remember it as one of the highlights of the Slovenian music scene. When they announced the concert at Kino Šiška, it went immediately in the calendar. So when Arni asked if I was available…

Max Richter, Cankarjev dom
One of the most influential composers of his generation, where classical music meets modern electronics. Most famous for his film scores, from Arrival, Shutter Island to The Last of Us. An evening to remember.

Flirrt, Kamnik
As a Kamnik native, I can’t believe this was my first time photographing an event at Kamnik Sports Hall. My second Flirrt show too – stepping in for Rok Breznik, who was occupied elsewhere, and a warm-up of sorts for their big show in Maribor. Exciting! Light design by Amadej Šuperger. Gear used Sony A7III…

HK Olimpija, Tivoli
Something new! I was asked to photograph young players during their hockey practice at Tivoli Hall for a Ljubljana magazine article. Cold and tricky, but I think the photos turned out great.

Slovenian Armed Forces Orchestra, Cankarjev dom
Celebrating their 30th anniversary with a special concert at Gallus hall, the Slovenian Armed Forces Orchestra were joined by the president Nataša Pirc Musar herself. From ceremonial overtures and military motifs through jazz and big band to Ravel’s Bolero, important guests included Vlado Kreslin, Tomi Meglič, Raiven and Gregor Ravnik. A night to remember.

Platno, Cankarjev dom
My first opera by Nina Šenk, performed by the ensemble of Slovensko komorno glasbeno gledališče, presented at Cankarjev dom. Four protagonists, four voices, one moment of existence. A story not of love, but of longing. Quite a challenge, but I’m glad I got the chance. Light design by Klemen Kuhar.

SOS: V njeni koži
I volunteered to cover an event for SOS: Društvo SOS telefon, a Slovenian organisation supporting women and children who are victims of violence. The evening marked the launch of their national campaign Če bi stene govorile – opening a conversation about violence against women, children, and the systemic failures survivors face when seeking help. The…

The :Projekt crew at it again – next edition of the School of Beer series, co-organised with Tekoče zadeve and Andrej Colarič. This time the focus was on hoppy beers. These guys really know how to teach you something new and put together an evening to remember. A special guest too – the owner of…

:Projekt – School of Beer: Belgian, English and wheat
The :Projekt crew – yes, I know the owner – invited me to photograph their School of Beer series, co-organised with Tekoče zadeve and Andrej Colarič. I couldn’t make every edition, but this was the first one. The theme? Belgian, English, and wheat beers. Don’t ask me for tasting notes; it’s been two months since…
