Zimska poroka v St. Moriztu - Winter wedding in St. Moritz

2008-01-05T17:08:00.000+01:00

Leto 2007 je za nami in za zaključek sezone, se je obetala še ena "sanjska" poroka. Tanja in Martin, Švicarja, oba na začasnem delu v Singapurju, sta v množici ponudb za fotografiranje njune poroke izbrala prav naju. Naj se na tem mestu zahvalim moji Švicarski kolegici Fides, ki mi je sploh omogočila stopiti v stik s Tanjo. S Tanjo, sva se "zaštekala", že po prvem mailu in ko sem enkrat konec septembra pripravljal ponudbo, sem bil trdno prepričan, da nama je ta poroka enostavno "usojena".
Prišel je 14. december in čas odhoda je bil tu, a ko ti dan prej nenadoma umre muc, ki nas je spremljal zadnjih 11 let, ko daš bolnega otroka v varstvo babici, ki jo taisto noč lažji srčni infarkt spravi na urgenco, ko zjutraj ne vžge avto, se resnično vprašaš ali je sploh lahko še hujše?! Je v takih trenutkih vredno vztrajati, verjeti v srečen konec in kot pravi profesionalec oddelati kar je treba?!
A moč optimizma je neizmerna in ko sva popoldne požirala avtocestne kilometre proti Milanu, ter zaskrbljena čakala kako se bo norošnica doma iztekla, so iz domovine prišle spodbudnejše novice. Z mamo ni bilo nič hujšega, ostali sorodniki so poskrbeli, da je bila najina Klara v dobrih rokah in sonce nad Milanom je postajalo vse lepše.
Spotoma sva se ustavila še na "Lake Como", kjer sem si na hitro ogledal nekaj hotelov in povprašal za informacije, ki jih potrebujemo, za "workshop", ki bo letos septembra. Naj ob priliki omenim, da skupaj z Davidom Becksteadom, in Mikeom Colonom pripravljamo, totalno hud "workshop" za poročne fotografe, a več o temu, ko bo več znanega.
No in tako sva pozno popoldne po slabih 7-ih urah vožnje srečno prispela v zimsko obarvani in nadvse spokojni Sils-Engadin. To je vas-mestece nekaj kilometrov pred St. Moritzem.
Popoldansko sonce se je že skrivalo za gore in pogled iz avta na zasneženo in poledenelo pokrajino je obljubljal peklenski mraz.

Year 2007 is behind us and for the end of the season another "dream" wedding should happen. Tanja and Martin, both from Switzerland, and both temporarily working in Singapur, choose us to be their wedding photographer. I am proud of that, because I know that, they did get a lot of other offers from other photographers. So I will take a chance and espacily thank to my Swicherland photo-friend Fides, who gave me the contact to Tanja. I dont know, why, but I just feel, from the first contact with Tanja, that I will photograph this wedding.
And so 14. December come and it was time to leave for St. Moritz, but when a day before suddenly your Cat dies (he was a member of our family for 11 years), when you give your sick child to grandmother and when your grandma, gets a heart attack on same night, and when your car doesn't wont to start at the morning......than you really start to ask yourself "can it be even worst?" Is it worth to insist and believe in happy end and do your job as a professional should do?!
But the power of positive thinking is endless, and when we drive over Italian highway, and scary waited for some news, the phone ringed and news from home were good. My Mom was already at home (luckily nothing serious), Klara was ok with other relatives and the sun over Milano started to be more and more beautifull.
On the way to St. Moritz, we also stopped in Lake Como, where I did a little research for a appropriate hotel, for the workshop, that I am helping to organize in September this year. Have I mentioned that there is going to be a great wedding photography workshop by David Beckstead, Mike Colon & me in September on Lake Como....more news when I will know more.
So after a little less than 7 hours drive, we happily arrived to winter Sils-Engadin. This is a small village, few kilometers before St. Moritz. The afternoon soon, already started to disappear behind the hills and the view from the car over the snow and freeze landscape was promising a total coldness .

Romantičen hotel Margna je bil najin tokratni cilj....
Romantic Hotel Margna was our final target this time...

Ko sva se namestila, sta naju Tanja in Martin povabila na spoznavno večerjo...
After we settled up, Tanja & Martin invited us to dinner...

Kmalu je postalo jasno da sta Tanja in Martin nadvse prijetna in simpatična človeka in hitro je postalo očitno, da se v Tanji skriva nekaj Italijanske krvi...
Soon it was clear to me, that Tanja & Martin are very nice and fine people, and I quickly realized that there is some Italian blood in Tanja...

Ker prej ni bilo časa, so bile plesne urice kar po večerji...
The dance teach hours, were right after the dinner...

Poročni dan, nas je pričakalo lepo sončno vreme a brrr...-15 stopinj je le prehuda....
The weather on the wedding day was beautiful sunny, but brrr -15 degress Celsius is a little to much..

Tanjina obleka...
the dress...

Za tale posnetek prstanov v snegu, se je splačalo potrpet....
It was worth to freeze for this shot, for a few moments...

čeveljci obsijani s svetlobo...
the shoes ...

Maskerka je po nekaj minutah le ugotovila, da je bil moj nasvet, da je ob oknu lepša svetloba, le pravilen....
The make up girl, finally, after few minutes, realized, what I told her...that the light in front of the window is more nice...

zazvonil je telefon...Italijani so tu....
than the phone ringed....the Italians are here...

in v hotelu je završalo...
and it stared to get more laud in the hotel...

nazaj na delo....
back to work...

ko je nadeti obleko prav zabavna stvar....
sometimes getting into dress is a funny thing...

Martin je imel lažje delo, kljub temu, da so mu tile manšetni gumbi povzročali kar nekaj težav...
Martin did have a easier job, even this sleeve-link caused him some problems...

ha...takih poročnih čeveljcev pa še niste videli....kul...
ha....I am sure you haven't seen this kind of wedding shoes before...cool...

sigma 12mm...

in smo odbrzeli skozi hotelska vrata....
and we run to the hotel doors..

brž brž...mudi...
hurry up...

preprosta Evangeličanska cerkev je skozi okno spustila tale sončni žarek, ki je obsijal vrtnico...
the simple Evangelic church and the light sun, shining to the rose...

vidite, kako sonce sveti ravno na njiju....
see, how the light is shining directly to them...

Najina prva Evangeličanska poroka...brez zamere, ampak stokrat bolj pristno, pravo in človeško, kot klasična Krščanska poroka... zanimivo, takšna razlika, a skoraj isti nauk....
Our first Evangelic wedding...I like this wedding, because of the simplicity and more "human" approach....

za tole vožnjo s konjskimi vpregami, se je bilo treba opravit v prava zimska oblačila...
for this drive with the horse span, we need to get into winter clothes...

in ko smo se vračali, je bila že skoraj tema....mraz pa brrr kot v Sibiriji...
and when we were returning, there was already starting to get dark...but huh, cold like in Sibiria....

no v hotelu je bilo prijetno toplo in tale verzija "Coco Chanel" je bila Tanjina želja, ki je prav dobro izpadla...
well it was warm in the hotel and this version of "Coco Chanel" was Tanja idea, and I like the result...

tale fotka mi je nadvse všeč in jo boste sigurno še večrat videvali...
on of my favorite images of this year...

hja...še eden v seriji letošnjih expresnih "fotosešnov"...tokrat kar na hotelskem stopnišču...
huh...another hurry up "photo session" in this season...this time on the hotel staircase...

sprejem mladoporočencev v hotelskem atriju in sproščen klepet ob šampanjcu in zvokih klavirja...
the reception of the couple in the hotel lobby and relaxed talk, with champagne and sound of piano...

hotel pa kot iz pravljice....za fotografirat sicer pravi hudič, saj je bila svetloba na "limitu (iso 3200, sigma 12mm- f 4.5, 1/20 sec, fleš pa je ob vsem lesu bolj ali manj neuporaben...
the hotel was a dram... but very hard work for photograph. The light was all the time on the "limit" iso 3200, sigma 12mm f 4.5 1/20 sec...

čudovita atmosfera, krasni ljudje in lepe želje...kaj več si človek sploh lahko želi, na svoji poroki?
a wonderful atmosphere, great people and best wishes...what else can you wish on your wedding?

otoci na porokah so vedno poglavje zase...v pozitivnem smislu :)
kids on the weddings are always a great...

reakcija na to ko izveš, kakšen slideshow so ti prijatelji pripravili....
the reaction, when they tell you what kind of slideshow your friends have prepared for you...

ko ljudem na ulici pokažeš, fotko dveh ljudi in jih povprašaš, kaj naj bi bili ljudje na tej fotki...
you show people on the street a photo of two people and ask them what they think, who or what that people are....

dobiš odgovore in ideje, da je smeha polna skleda...
you get the answers, that made you laugh...

sem omenil, da je bila hrana vrhunska...
did I mentioned that food was excellent...

cela miza slaščic je tokrat nadomestila torto...
the whole table of sweets instead of wedding cake...

še zadnji poljub pred prvim plesom...
last kiss before first dance...

lepo mar ne...
beautiful, agree...

očka in hči na plesišču...
father and daughter...

mati in sin na plesišču...
mother and son...

uf...tale Italijanski par, se je pa tako sukal, da smo vsi kar onemeli...
huh...this Italian couple, was dancing like "crazy"...

no potem se je bilo treba naučit posebnega plesa..
then they needed to learn a special dance...

in to vsi pari na plesišču...
all the couples on the dancing floor...

ko so trebuščki polni in nekaj vina steče po grlu, pride na vrsto zabava...
and when you eat good and drink some vine, than comes the party time...

malo za hec...
a little for fun...

še nekaj za zaključek tele zgodbice, v kateri je še kup fotografij, ki sem jih tule izpustil..
this one is for the end....there are a lot more great photos, from this wedding, but thats all for today...

Kaj naj rečem za konec....svet je lep in na njemu je veliko lepih in dobrih duš. Hvala Tanja in Martin, ter srečno.
What can I say for the end....the world is beautiful and there is a lot of nice and good people in this world. Thank you Tanja and Martin and good luck.

VSE DOBRO... - ALL GOOD...

Maja Ferme

2007-12-04T21:08:00.000+01:00

Da razbijem dolgčas na mojem blogu, vam danes predstavim še eno osebo, ki jo cenim. Pravzaprav, tale objava sovpada z izborom miss sveta, ki se je zgodil v soboto.
Kot najbrž že veste, ali pa tudi ne, letošnjo predstavnico naše lepe dežele, je oblekla Maja Ferme.
Dekle, pravzaprav lepa, pametna, uspešna in prijetna ženska, s katero se preprosto "štekava". Ko sem lani iskal obleko za najin projekt z Davidom, sem želel nekaj posebnega. In tako sem spoznal Majo. Kljub temu, da je ravno pripravljala, samostojno modno revijo v New Yorku...da prav ste prebrali, punca si preprosto "upa".... mi je velikodušno priskočila na pomoč in mi posodila eno izmed svojih zadnjih kreacij. Štos je bil, da je obleka tako hudo dobro izgledana na Urški, da je bilo dogajanje sredi Dunaja na momente prav v stillu Holivudskih filmov. Fantje so klečali, prosili in puščali vizitke naši Urški, mi pa smo se seveda od srca nasmejali.

tale je pa od letos, ko sva z Davidom fotkala v Toskani.

Prostočasnik

2007-11-20T14:33:00.001+01:00

Tadej in Rada + njun sin Filip so ena taka super luštna, nadvse ustvarjlna družina. Ko stopiš v njihov dom, ti je takoj jasno, da je tam "ustvarjalnost" zapisana z veliko besedo zatorej ni čudno, da so se pred časom odločili izdajat revijo, ki bo to delila tudi z drugimi. Tako je nastala revija Prostočasnik in v soboto je izšla zimska številka. Kot sem rekel je to revija za ustvarjalno preživljanje prostega časa otrok in staršev. Na leto izidejo štiri številke, ki se ravnajo po letnih časih in praznikih.

In ker ima Nataša tudi malo ustvarjalne "žilice" jo je Rada povabila k sodelovanju zato je pripravila praznovanje rojstnega dne v siju Divalija, praznika tisočerih luči. Sam sem z velikim veseljem fotografiral ustvarjalne, vesele otroke.

Imeli smo se super.

Pred nami so praznični dnevi in veliko priložnosti za uživanje in ustvarjanje skupaj z našimi otroki. Če slučajno nimate idej, pokukajte v Prostočasnik in uživajte!

Otroci in gibanje/ Kids and movement

2007-11-09T20:41:00.000+01:00

Kar nekaj časa je minilo od zadnje objave, zato danes tale kratki "intermezzo" pred velikimi novostmi. V kratkem, se pripravlja en kup novosti. Katere bodo te novosti, vam zaenkrat še ne zaupam, lahko pa povem, da bo "kaj za videt". Če bo vse po sreči, bo "public release" enkrat v začetku decembra, morda tudi nekaj prej.
Zadnje dni, smo preživeli kar nekaj časa na sprehodih, saj mi je občutno preveč sedenja pred "magično kišto" prineslo malo povišan pritisk, kar me je totalno iztirilo, saj sem navajen bit "brezhibno" zdrav. Skratka, po "tanovem" bo pri nas na sporedu precej več gibanja.
In ker k nam v raj nad Ljubljano, radi pridejo tudi prijatelji, so sprehodi prijetnejši. Če je "ata" razpoložen za prenašanje fotoaparata, pa še kakšno fotko vmes posnamemo.
Its been a while, from my last post, so this todays post will be a short "intermezzo" between some large news. There are some big news preparing in the background. Which news this will be, I can not tell you jet, but I can promise you, that there will be "something to see". If everything goes normally, public release will be somewhere in the beginning of December, with some luck maybe even a little before. Last days, we spend quite some time in the woods hiking. A to much time that I spend before my "magical box", has brought me, some problems with a little to high blood pressure. I totally "freaked out", cause I was always a very good health. So the conclusion is that I need to move-gym much more. We live on a "heaven above Ljubljana" and a lot of our friends like to visit us, so we go hiking together. Sometimes I even take my camera with me and we capture some nice photos.

POROČNI KOTIČEK

2007-10-26T21:23:00.000+02:00

V sredo zvečer sva bila z Natašo povabljena na otvoritev Poročnega kotička. Nataša je morala žal zaradi obveznosti udeležbo odpovedati, zato sem se otvoritve udeležil sam. Kristina in Boštjan Vidergar, srce in gonilna sila, sta s pomočjo ekipe zaposlenih zadevo pripravila, tako kot se spodobi. Ob šampanjcu, prigrizkih in klepetu, smo si ogledali modno revijo poročnih oblek. Izbrane lepotice Tjaša Kokalj, Nataša Pinoza, Irina Osypenko, Barbara Tekavec in Maja Dežman, so se ob še dveh primerkih močnejšega spola sprehodile po stezi, kar so neutrudno beležili fotografi (mene v takih primerih ni med njimi, rajši uživam v družbi he he).
Kar me ob takih dogodkih veseli, je predvsem entuziazem, želja in trud, ki žene ljudi, da dvigujejo nivo poročne scene v Sloveniji. In kar gre v Sloveniji bolj težko z jezika, bom jaz z veseljem napisal...bravo in čestitke Kristina in Boštjan.
Vlogo uradnega fotografa je tokrat sprejel stanovski kolega Klemen Lajevec, ki je prispeval spodnje tri fotografije.

Mojca Mavec v vlogi voditeljice...

cvet lepote v poročni opravi...

Kristina in Boštjan z nadvse ljubko hčerko s krasnim imenom - Julija (BTW...vidim, da bom moral trenirat poziranje pred kamero :))

Tule pa še tri fotografije z reklamnega materiala...lepo ni kaj.

XEQUTIFZ + CVETLIČARNA /

2007-10-17T09:10:00.000+02:00

Tokrat bolj malo texta....XEQUTIFZ je en zanimiv bend, ki je imel v petek v Cvetličarni svoj "špil".
In ker se s klaviaturistom Gregom poznava, sem bil zraven tudi jaz.

This time I wont write much....XEQUTIFZ is an interesting Slovenian bend and they have played on friday night in the place called "Cvetličarna". Since I know the man with the "synth", I was there too.

prvi dve fotki sta z vaje, ostale pa ko je šlo zares...
first two are from exercise, the others from "real perform"...

Bil sem izbran - 8 dejstev o meni / I've been TAGGED - 8 facts about me

2007-10-08T20:48:00.000+02:00

Tokrat še nekaj dejstev o meni, po določilu moje avstralska kolegica in vrhunske fotografinje Vannese Hall.

1. Pri dveh letih sem hodil sam v trgovino, ki je bila za hišnim vogalom kupovat očetu cigarete in venomer pravilno ugotovil, če mi je prodajalka vrnila pravo vsoto denarja (noro a resnično), s tremi leti sem bral časopis (brez heca), pri petih sem poznal preko 100 glavnih mest sveta (danes je ta številka okrog 40) in pri šestih sem znal množit in delit dvomestna števila (napamet, še danes ne vem kako je to šlo), ter nato pri sedmih po "zaslugi" učiteljice in šolskega sistema postal le povprečen dijak (žalostno a resnično).
2. Pri dvanajstih sem želel postati nogometaš.
3. V srednji šoli mi je oče kupil Vespo in takrat sem postal pravi "frajer".
4. Do 25 leta sem bil nor na avtomobile, danes so zame večinoma le še prevozna sredstva
5. Med letoma 1991 in 1997 sem skrbel za dedka, ki je zbolel za rakom. Bil je moj življenski mentor in človek z neverjetno voljo do življenja in nepozabno karizmo.
6. Najhujši dan v življenju sem doživel, ko so leta 1998, takrat 17 letnemu bratrancu, ki je živel v isti hiši kot jaz, diagnosticirali tumor na možganih, za katerim je po 8-ih meseci žal tudi umrl (absurdno je, da do tega dne ni bil skoraj nikoli bolan)
7. Zgornja dva razloga, sta kriva, da sem se spoznal z Biokibernetiko in dodobra spoznal "mejno področje znanega" in duhovni svet. Moj analitični duh, je zaključke, spravil v življensko uporabne modrosti.
8. Večni optimist, ki ohrani trezno glavo, tudi ko že vse zajame panika.

Da bo tale veriga tekla še naprej, pa bosta poskrbela Olki in Olaf.

This time few facts about me. My friend and excellent Australian photographer Vannesa Hall tagged me.

1. When I was two I regularly go to the shop around corner, to buy cigarettes for my dad and I always knew how much money seller needs to return me (crazy but true), with three I read the newspapers, with five I know for more than 100 main city's of the world country's, with six I know to multiply and divide numbers till 100 (still don't know how I did that), and with seven, when I go to school I become a regular schooler, what I need to "thank" to my teacher and "perfect" school system (sadly but true).
2. With twelve, I wonted to became a soccer player
3. In the high school my father bought me a Vespa and I became a "cool guy"
4. Till about 25 I was crazy about cars, now they are mainly only driving "objects".
5. Between 1991 and 1997 I take care for my grand father, during his fight with cancer. He was my life mentor and a men with unbelievable life will and unforgettable charisma.
6. The worst day in my life happened in 1998, when doctors diagnosed brain tumor to my 17 years old cousin, who lived in the same house as I did. He died 8 months later. (the absurd is he was never ill in his life).
7. Upper two fact are the reason that I started to study Biocybernetics and get known with "the science on the edge of the known" and "spiritual world". My analytics nature helped me to made some conclusions that now help me to live better.
8. Confirmed optimist, who stays with "cool" head even when everybody starts to panic.

Sedma obletnica najine poroke / Seventh anniversary of our wedding

2007-09-30T21:25:00.000+02:00

Zgodilo, se je "davnega" 13.3.1994, ko sta se najina pogleda srečala v takratni Ljubljanski diskoteki Eldorado. Od takrat hodim po svetu hipnotiziran od ljubezni in sreče. Je vse kar sem si vedno želel in ob njej si želim postarati. Na današnji dan, pred sedmimi leti, sva postala mož in žena.

It happened "long ago" on the 13. march 1994, when our eyes meet each other. Since then I walk on this earth as hypnotized from love and happiness. She is all I ever wished and I wish to get old with her. On todays day, seven years ago, we become husband and wife.

Star Mercedes, Kendov dvorec in dve lepi duši / Old Mercedes, Kendov mansion and two soul in love

2007-09-27T15:10:00.000+02:00

Čudovito septembersko popoldne, ko je sonce še komajda kukalo iza hriba se je tokrat odvilo na meni ljubi lokaciji. Kendov dvorec je tokrat začinil še star Mercedes in dve lepi duši, sta stopili na skupno pot. Glavna akterja sta bila tokrat Nataša in Marko.

On the beautiful September afternoon, when the last sun shine over the hills, we were on my favorite location. Mansion "Kendov dvorec", with old timer Mercedes and two lovely soul, getting married. This time the main "actors" were Natasha and Marko.

Sobotno jutro smo pričeli pri Nataši (nevesti) doma...
We started the Saturday morning at Natashas (bride) home..

tako nevesta je pripravljena...
and the bride is ready...

se strinjate da je prečudovita?...
agree She is more than beautiful?...

ob 15h smo krenili v smeri Idrije...
at about 15h we drive in the direction Idrija...

ko so nas pričakali s soncem obsijani kozarci...
the glasses shined with the sun, were waiting for us..

sem vedel, da je tokrat "tudi" moj dan...in igra s svetlobo se je začela...
at that time, I knew, that this will be "my" day too... and the game with light has started...

ko vsemu dodaš še malo starinskega izgleda, pa vse skupaj meji že na...
and when you add a little old look, everything is almost...

prstani so pripravljeni...
the rings are ready...

si človek zaželi, da bi se čas ustavil...
I wished that the time would stop...

težko verjamete, ampak vse kar vidite je le naravna svetloba...
hard to believe, but nothing more than only natural light..

"usodni" da...
"the yes" moment...

ujeti trenutki...
captured moments..,

in spet igra s svetlobo...
and again playing with the light...

nakar skupaj ugotovimo, da so prstani na napačnih rokah...leva je prava se glasi skupna ugotovitev, zato na hitro ponovimo vajo..
and than we realized that the rings are on the wrong hands...shouldn't be on the right, we all agree, so we did it again...

potem si vzamemo nekaj časa za "igro"...
than we take a little time to play with the couple...

tole je Natašina mojstrovina, še malo pa me bo ona začela učiti :)..
this one is Natasha's masterpiece...not far away is the day, when She will start to learn me to shoot :)...

igranje s svetlobo in sencami se nadaljuje...
still playing with the light and shadows...

in v ozadju nam ves čas prijetno igra glasba...
and in the background the nice music was played...

ko se mi porodi tale ideja (no skupaj z Natašo si jo izmisliva)...
then I get this idea (well it was both Natasha and mine)...

sonce zaide in čas bo za večerjo...
when the sun fall down, its time to for the dinner...

se z Natašo nekoliko umakneva...
we moved a little background with Natasha...

medtem ko "duša in srce dvorca" Bogdan z ekipo poskrbi za goste..
in the mean time " the heart and the soul of the mansion" Bogdan with the team, takes care for the guests..

jaz lovim nočni ambient okrog dvorca...
and I try to catch the ambient around the mansion...

moški si po jedi privoščijo kozarec konjaka, kot se spodobi...
after the dinner its time for the whiskey...

nato na sceno stopijo same BABE...he he. Marko je namreč član nadvse zanimive glasbene skupine....
after that "ONLY OLD WOMAN" are on the scene. Marko (groom) is actually a part of the very interesting band....

publika uživa v predstavi...BTW tole desno je nevestina sestra (še vedno samska če se ne motim...fantje :) )...
the public is having a nice time...BTW on the right is brides sister (still single I think...guys :))...

torta je bila ena taka simpatična stvaritev...
the cake was one lovely masterpiece...

seveda še zadnji ples...
and the last dance...

in zgodba se lahko zaključi.
and the story is finished.

Vam pa čisto po pravici povem, da je bilo najhujše delo tokrat, izbrati fotografije. Skoraj vsako sem prav z muko izločil.
Hvala še enkrat Nataša in Marko in obilo sreče na vajini skupni poti.

If I tell you the truth, the hardest work was the editing. Every delete was a pain.
Thanks again Natasha and Marko and good luck.

Prvič na jadrnici / First time on sailing boat

2007-09-17T22:25:00.000+02:00

Tisti, ki me bolje poznajo vedo, da sem zaljubljen v morje in je moja želja nekega dne odpluti v širni svet. Pravzaprav nadvse nora ideja, če vam povem, da sem v življenju jadral le s popotniki v knjigah. Prejšnjo sredo pa me je kolega Jure Butorac (uradno še vedno najlepši zemljan), povabil na prvo pravo jadranje. Kljub temu, da je bilo vetra bolj malo in dlje kot po koščku slovenske obale nismo pluli, pa je bilo dovolj, da sem dokončno ugotovil, da mi je zadeva pravzaprav zelo všeč.
Z 19 metrsko regatno jadrnico, sem v družbi Bora team-a užival v čudovitem popoldanskem soncu. No, da pa ni bilo vse skupaj le eno samo uživanje, pa sem sproti posnel še nekaj preiskusnih fotk za novo kolekcijo jadralskih oblačil, ki jih pripravlja prav Jure, ki je bil hkrati tudi glavni model.
The one who better knows me, know, that I am crazy about see and that my wish is someday to sail into a wide world. Actually pretty crazy idea, if I tell you, that in my life the only sailing that I did was with the sailer's in the books. But last Wednesday my friend Jure Butorac (still officially the mister handsome of the world), invited me to the first real sailing. Even that the wind was week and that we only sail on the small Slovenian see, that was enough, that I finally figured out, that I like sailing very much.
With 19 meters long regatta sailing boat and Bora sailing team, we enjoyed in the beautifull afternoon sun. Well I did also work a little and take a few test photos for the new collection of the sailing dresses, which are actually designed by Jure, who was also the main model.

Asja & Yujin 8. september, Vila Bled

2007-09-14T10:09:00.000+02:00

"Yujina sem prvič videla v kavarni v Canberri.
Njegove mišičaste roke in štirioglata očala so bila videti zanimiva.
Ima najbolj drobne oči, ki sem jih kadarkoli videla in ime, ki zveni domače.
Yujin je vesel, zabaven, skrben in me ima rad.
Jaz plavam hitreje od njega, in on bere hitreje kot jaz.
Dopolnjujeva se.
Z njim se počutim varno in mi je lepo.
Sklenila sem, da se poročim z njim."

"Asja ustvarja nove materiale za hrano. In jaz ustvarjam hrano za možgane.
Rad jo imam, ker ima lepe modre oči in nasmeh.
Takoj ko sem jo spoznal sem se odločil, da jo vzamem za ženo.
Njeno ime zveni japonsko.
Slovenija je edina dežela, ki ima v imenu "love". Asja je polna ljubezni in radosti.
Skupaj se veliko smejeva.
Mene skrbi zanjo in njo zame. Rada se imava.
Odločil sem se, da se poročim z njo."

Takole je izgledalo vabilo, ki sem ga prejel na njuno poroko. Kaj naj rečem...ostal sem brez besed. Energija, ki je izžarevala iz teh besed me je očarala in upam, da ste enako začutili tudi vi.
In ko prebereš takšno vabilo (ki je bilo mimogrede tudi vrhunsko in lično izdelano v treh jezikih), veš, da te čaka spet en nepozaben dan.
Asja je slovenka (njen oče zamejski slovenec v Avstriji) in Yujin je Japonec. Kot ste uspeli razbrat iz vabila sta se spoznala v Avstraliji (pri Asjini teti) in sedaj živita v Birminghamu, kjer Yujin predava na univerzi kot profesor filozofije.
Zapletena zgodba, kajne...sploh če zraven k Asjini mami dodaš še tri sestre ter kopico ljudi z vseh koncev sveta. Skratka nabrali smo se s celega sveta in v čudovitem septemberskem dnevu ter prekrasnem ambientu Vile Bled in Blejskega jezera. Midva z Natašo sva bila zadolžena za fotografsko zgodbo in tako je nastalo tole...

še sam ne morem verjeti da bom objavil 50 fotografij na blogu!!!

"I saw Yujin for the first time at a cafe in Canberra.
His muscular arms and square glasses looked interesting.
He has the smallest eyes I have ever seen and a name that sounds English.
Yujin is always happy, fun and caring; he loves me.
I can swim faster than him, but he can read faster than me.
We complement each other.
With Yujin I feel safe and protected.

I agreed to marry him."

"Asja creates new materials for food. I create food for thought.
I love her beautiful blue eyes and shy smile.
She has a name that sounds a bit like Japanese.
Slovenia is the only country in the world with "love" in its name. Asja is full of love and joy.
We rarely drink, but eat and laugh a lot.
I care about her and she cares about me. We love each other.

I agree to marry her."

This was the invitation that I got for their wedding. What can I say...I left without words. The energy that I feel in this words was magical and I hope you feel the same.
And when you read a invitation like that (which was BTW also beautiful designed and made in three languages), you know, that there will be another unforgettable day to happen.
Asja is a Slovenian girl (her father is a Slovenian in Austria) and Yujin is from Japan. As you have read from the invitation card, they meet each other in Australia (where lives Asjas aunt) and now they live together in Birmingham, where Yujin is a professor of philosophy in therefore university.
A little complicated story, don't you think so....and if you add to Asjas mother three more sisters and guests from other parts of the world?! Anyway, we get together from all over the world on the beautiful September day in the wonderful ambient of Villa Bled and Bled lake scenery. Natasa and I were there to make a photography story and we did that...

I cant believe I will post 50 pics on the blog...

Tanja & Borut - Štanjel 1.september

2007-09-05T23:54:00.000+02:00

Zgodilo se je v čudoviti Kraški vasici Štanjel, sončni zahod smo v zadnjih sekundah ujeli na Debelem rtiču in se zvečer zabavali v Hotelu Bio v Kopru...
It happened in beautiful Kras village Štanjel. We run for the last seconds of sun in Debeli rtič and have a great party-reception in Hotel Bio in Koper...

ista scena le drug objektiv....neverjetno kajne!
same scene only different lens...quite amazing isn't it!

Vesna & Danijel - Grad Socerb

2007-08-31T23:58:00.000+02:00

Danes bolj na hitro, saj je že pozno. Danijel je kirurg v Valdoltri, Vesna pa v Izoli sposoja barke. Oba nadvse simpatična in prijetna. Tole je nastalo na Gradu Soccerb enkrat sredi avgusta.
O njuni poroki, ki se je zgodila v moji "favorit" lokaciji Kendovem dvorcu, pa lahko pišem samo v presežnikih, a o temu enkrat prihodnjič.
Todaj I will be very short...its late already. Danijel is a surgeon in Valdoltra clinic, Vesna is renting a boats in Izola. Both very attractive and very nice. We capture this images on the Castle Soccerb sometime in the middle of august. I can talk about their wedding that happened in my favorite location "Kendov mansion" only in superlative, but more about that in my next posts.

Monika Mešič

2007-08-30T20:20:00.000+02:00

Monika Mešič, profesionalni fotomodel...dekle, ki je leta 2005 osvojilo laskavi naslov Bernimodels (www.berniemodels.net) in se tako preiskusilo celo v sami svetovni modni prestolnici - Milanu. Dekle, ki je bilo letos maja pripravljeno iti z nami v Toskano in potrpežljivo in profesionalno pomagati pri drugem dejanju fotografskega projekta, ki ga ustvarjava skupaj z mojim dobrim prijateljem Davidom Beckstedom. Za tiste, ki ne veste David je bil letos v prestižni ameriški reviji "American photo magazine" izbran za enega izmed 10-ih najboljših svetovnih poročnih fotografov. O kakšne vrste projektu gre, bom opisal v naslednjih objavah, danes pa kot rečeno o Moniki.
Dobila sva se v stari Ljubljani, kamor sem ji odnesel nekaj printov, saj je imela pomemben "casting".
In ko sva nato ob pijači kramljala in debatirala, ter pregledovala fotke iz njenega "booka", mi je zaupala "...veš tvoje fotke so mi od vseh najboljše". Priznam, bil sem presenečen, saj je dekle poziralo že mnogim znanim slovenskim fotografom in delalo z nekaterimi top fotografi v Milanu.
Monika če tole bereš, hvala in upam, da boš kmalu spet stala pred mojim objektivom.
Za posladek pa fotografije Monike, ki so nastale v Toskani...
Monika Mešič, professional photo model...a girl, that back in the 2005 win the title "Bernimodels" (www.berniemodels.net) and try herself also in world fashion metropolis - Milano. A girl that this May was prepared to go with us in Tuscany and patiently and professionally helped with finishing the second part of the project that I am doing with my great friend David Beckstead.
For those who don't know, David was this year by American photo magazine, selected as one of the ten world best wedding photographers. I will talk about the project that we are doing in my next posts, but as I said today we are talking about Monika.
This afternoon we meet each other in old city, where I bring her few prints for important casting that she was having. And when we later talk and discuss about her model book she said to me " ...you know Milos, I like your photos the most of all I have". I admit, I was a little surprised...the girl posed for some of the best Slovenian photographers and has worked with some of the top photographers in Milano.
So Monika if you read this, thank you and hope you will stand in front of my lens soon again.
And here are three photos of Monika, which I capture in Tuscany...

Tanja & Borut Pahor

2007-08-29T23:51:00.000+02:00

Tokratni naslov je nekoliko "tračevski" in večina je najbrž najprej pomislila, da se naš znani politik morda celo poroči.... a vas moram žal razočarati... ni tisti Borut Pahor za katerega ste mislite, da je. Je pa ravno tako s Primorske, uglajen in simpatičen. V soboto bo obljubil "večno zvestobo" Tanji. Da bo na svečani dan fotografiranje lažje, smo se včeraj dobili na probi, pri Gradu Habsberg ob vznožju Planinskega polja.
Kljub temu, da je bila obutev za tole zaraščeno ruševino, (katera me BTW vedno nadvse fascinira) neprimerna, smo s skupnimi močmi ustvarili nekaj zanimivih portretov.
Pa začnimo...
Yesterday we did a E-session with Tanja & Borut. We meet each other at the castle Habsberg.
Even the shoes were not the best for this grown over ruin castle (which BTW always fascinates me), we managed to capture some great portraits.
Lets start...

potem se je iza grmovja pojavil tale osliček in je postalo zabavno.
Tanja in Borut sta njegovo osamljenost potolažila z nekaj trave...
and then this donkey shown up and things started to get fun.
Tanja and Borut gave him some grass to eat...

kar mu je bilo nadvse všeč...
which he liked a lot...

potem smo nadaljevali z zastavljeno nalogo...
than we continue to accomplish our mission...

a nekomu to sploh ni bilo po godu in je to nazorno pokazal...
but somebody didn't like that at all, what he also clearly showned...

in ko mu je Borut dejal, da gre tukaj zares, je prav prisrčno zastrigel z ušesi..
and when Borut told him, that we are doing something important, he started to prick with his ears...

vljudno se je umaknil in nas pustil, da smo "fotosession" izpeljali do konca...
he gently moved back and left us to finish our fotosession....

tale zadnji dve sta pa Natašini...
this last two pictures are from Natasha...

Torej v soboto gremo na Primorsko. Pa lep pozdrav vsem.
So on Saturday we are in Primorsko (Slovenian see area). Best regards to all.

Tina & Luka

2007-08-26T21:49:00.001+02:00

Je lahko poročno darilo tudi fotograf? V svetu sploh ne redkost je v Sloveniji bolj poredka praksa. Dokaz, da gredo tudi v Sloveniji na tem področju stvari na bolje, je simpatična gospa Klara, ki je storila ravno to in tako smo se v lotili ustvarjanja poročne zgodbice Tine in Luka. Prvo dejanje se je zgodilo v četrtek, ko nas je popoldanski dež, skoraj popolnoma onemogočil, a z nekaj dobre volje nam je v Križankah uspelo posneti tole fotografijo, ki jo je par včeraj simbolično že prejel v dar.
Can a wedding photographer be a wedding present? Pretty normal thing in the world, but more rare in Slovenia. To proof that things get better in this term also in Slovenia, get real when a attractive lady Klara, did exactly that. And so we started a wedding story of the Tina and Luka.
The first action started on Thursday with ES, but even strong rain didn't stop us to capture this beautifull photo, which couple yesterday symbolically received as gift.

In da bo Tina čudovita nevesta mi je bilo jasno že, ko smo se prvič srečali. Moja domneva se je potrdila že takoj zjutraj na poročni dan....
And that Tina will be a beautiful bride was clear to me, already on our first meeting. That came thrue already on the morning of the wedding day...

čeveljci so odlično pristajali še lepši oblekci...
the shoes perfectly suits even more beautifull dress...

zadnji detailčki, da bo nevesta popolna...
last details, so the bride is perfect...

par portretkov mladoporočencev...
few relaxed portraits...

zabava pa kot se spodobi za tako veselo družbo, "Luxi" u elementu....
the reception was crazy...groom in action...

MOJ INTERVJU V DNEVNIKU - MY NEWSPAPER INTERVIEW

2007-08-26T21:29:00.000+02:00

Včeraj se je zgodila še ena pomembna reč v mojem življenju. Drugi največji slovenski časopis DNEVNIK je objavil celostranski intervju o moji fotografski karieri. 22 odgovorov na zastavljena vprašanja je v obliko intervjuja spravila Barbara Vrezovnik (hvala Barbara).
Kaj naj porečem ob tem dogodku....sem ponosen ? Vsekakor! Sem zato kaj boljši ali pomembnejši? Pravgotovo ne! Je pa taka reč vsekakor lepa spodbuda za naprej in potrdilo da je pot prava.
Intervju si lahko v spletni obliki preberete tudi na dnevnikovi strani oz. tule.
Yesterday another important thing happened in my life. Second largest Slovenian newspaper published my whole page interview about my photography carier. Barbara Vrezovnik (thank you Barbara), put together an interview from 22 questions that I need to answer.
What can I say about that....am I proud? Absolutely! Am I any better or more important because of that? Surrley not! But it gave me a large amount of stimulation for further and confirmation that the direction is right. The interview is also published on newspaper site, but there is no translation, sorry.

TRASH THE DRESS ZAGREB

2007-08-24T23:13:00.000+02:00

Torej prva "zaresna" objava, bo nekoliko "odštekana", vsaj za Slovenske razmere. Vse skupaj se je začelo s tem, ko je moj ameriški kolega John Michael Cooper predstavil nekaj neverjetnih fotografskih mojstrovin in pravzaprav začel nov trend v poročni fotografiji. In kot je to v Ameriški navadi, se je cela zadeva skomercializirala in nastal je nov trend, ki so ga poimenovali Trash the dress. Več si lahko preberete tu, moja današnja zgodba pa se je začela točno pred enim mesecem, ko me je moj Zagrebški kolega Olaf Siebert povabil na prvi Hrvaški TTD session. Seveda sem se vabilu z veseljem odzval in tako sva se z Natašo popolnoma neobremenjena znašla v nadvse prijetni družbi. Olaf se je potrudil in celotno zadevo perfektno organiziral, ter mi v obliki petih luštnih deklet in enega para omogočil obilo nepozabnih fotografskih užitkov.

In ker so takšni "fotosešni" odlična priložnost, da si človek da duška in resnično poizkusi nekaj drugačnega sem si izmislil tole....

So my first "real" post, will be a little "freaking crazy", at least for Slovenia. Everything started, when my American friend John Michael Cooper started to present us some incredible photography masterpieces and so started a totally new trend in wedding photography. And as this is pretty common for Americans, the whole thing get commercialized and so we get Trash the dress. More about that you can read here, but todays my story started exactly a month ago, when my Croatian friend Olaf Siebert invited me to the first Croatian TTD session. Of course I didn't wait for a second and so me and Nataša find out totally unencumbered in the middle of great people company. Olaf really did his best and organized everything perfect, so I did get a chance to work with five pretty girls and one couple. The photography experience was great and unforgettable.

And because this kind of photo sessions are more than perfect for trying something really different and crazy I invent this...

no upam, da se niste ustrašili, saj je bilo z "nevesto" vse ok in lahko si predstavljate kako je tole izgledalo v živo... pravi show za publiko.
V bistvu je bila cela zadeva več kot zabavna in tule je nekaj ostalih fotografij...

well, hope you didn't get scared for the "bride", but I can guarantee you that everything was ok and you can imagine how this thing looked live.... real show for the public.
The point is that we had more than fun and here is a few more pictures...

Hvala za ogled...sedaj pa hitro spat...jutri me čaka pravi maraton.

And now I need to hurry up for sleep...tomorrow I have a real marathon wedding.

KONČNO POZDRAVLJENI - FINALLY WELCOME

2007-08-22T22:41:00.001+02:00

No pa se je končno zgodilo bi lahko rekli....Miloš Horvat z današnjim dnem, začenja pisati prvi pravi Slovenski poročni in portretni fotografski blog. Pravzaprav bi lahko rekli, da je to obuditev, nečesa kar sem počel že v časih, ko so bili blogi še v povojih, a sem zaradi različnih razlogov odnehal. No kakorkoli že, danes sem ponovno tu in v prihodnje lahko pričakujete, da bom z vami delil, vse kar počnem, sem počel ali bom počel, predvsem pa vas bom zasipal s tistim, kar se trudim početi zadnja leta.... predstaviti poročno fotografijo na drugačen način kot ste jo bili vajeni.

In ker imam kar nekaj prijateljev tudi z drugih koncev zemeljske oble, vas bom občasno mučil tudi z mojo "not so good" angleščino.

Za začetek pa ....

Well it finally happened...Milos Horvat is today starting to write a first real Slovenian wedding and portrait photography blog. Actually we could say, that this is only the rebirth of something that I have done already on the times when blogging was relatively rare, but I quit writing it because of different reasons. However, today I am here again and you can expect that I will share here with you everything what I do, had done or will do. But the main purpose is to show you what I am trying to do for the last several years in Slovenia and worldwide....to show a wedding photography on my own artistic way.

And please forgive me if my English is not perfect...I am doing my best.

and for the start....
