Still from the film - my stunning 'swan' Ruby

A year ago, when I was searching a perfect location for one of my visuals for "I Died Loved" series, a friend told me about the Hampstead Heath Park. So I went there scout locating - taking photos of the glittering water of the ponds and fell in love with imagery of the landscape completely. There was something about that place. Next day I came there again and I made my shoot but somehow I felt I will make a short movie there at one point as well.

A moment of this came more than one year later, actually last week. Do I need to mention, it was cold as ICE at the time of our shoot? I guess a bit of insanity to create this dream-come-true film was there and I made sure it keep as all warm : )
Stay tuned for the film VEEERY soon !

Hard JOB

2011-11-08T18:39:00.018+01:00

His name is Mohamed and he's with Nevs Models Agency. There's something special about him. Obviously, he's handsome, but his personality is very warm 2, plus he likes to smile A LOT...

But there was something REALLY exciting about him.

He's been working a lot with a few BIG NAME PHOTOGRAPHERS, among them most famous are David Lachapelle and Steven Klein.

Now, THAT IS A CHALLENGE FOR ME. To get my ass there among other big names, haaaaa : ) When we did the shoot, his agent not just confirmed that the photographs are great for his portfolio, she was like "I want to put ALL of your photos in his portfolio, I absolutely adore them!"

To make long story short, it's nice to see my photos there next to David Lachapelle ones ... see it HERE : )

You can see all of the set from the shoot among fashion stories on my Photography Facebook Page.

What is GOOD LIFE?

2011-08-02T02:21:00.005+01:00

The Art Lover is in a strong position to preserve life as we know it because he is not a victim of propaganda.

Culture fortifies the Art Lover, human genius is his star. He is a Freedom Fighter and he’ll never get blown away in his fight. He leads a sane and exciting life, learning something new and piecing things together everyday. He has a sense of personal progress.

• And fighting Ecocide (ecological suicide).

The way we see the world affects our behaviour. If we are lazy and crazy enough to see the world as something to suck up and shit out, the world will destroy us. One day he realises that everything he cares about comes together in Gaia Theory : –

In pagan times Greek philosophers asked themselves, what is a Good Life? Then we forgot to ask this question. Now the answer is staring us in the face.

The Good Life is the life that lives in harmony with Gaia.

Had a little "date" in Neil's Yard at Covent Garden yesterday evening. We shared my menthol filtered tobacco liquorices rolls, talked a lot about individual style, attraction and - Madonna ! ( "You're either a fan of Madonna, or you're ... well, NOT" : )

She wants to do an interview with me for Project 27 and I'm looking forward to it as the questions she has are much more interesting that the ones usual I get, plus, some of them they are - alelujah - intriguing ! Me, I did a few shoots for her columnist page and let me say - this woman, a fashion designer, she is better at posing than many professional models ...

Or, is it just that my camera happens to love strong character and charisma?

Be careful what you wish for because not even a year after Rewind Vintage was voted best of London in 2010 by Daily Candy. Congratulations !!

And The Winner of 2010 is ...

2011-01-09T17:43:00.032+01:00

I remember one year ago I promised you here that the 2010 will be magical. And have I ever pulled your legs, my dearest readers? Na-a, not me!

So what happened last year really worth mentioning? Honestly, the first 5 months of 2010 were not exactly thrilling for me, quite the opposite. However, the magic hits the fan when, well, the Rocks started to melt...
Now, let's be brutally selective and highlight 10 things that rocked my boat in 2010, shall we ?

1. Private View of exhibition at St. Martins - "Rocks Are Melting" / June
2. Summer - absolutely all of it ( Ljubljana, road trips, Vienna ) / July & August
3. Falling in L O V E : ) / September
4. Photographing Vivenne Westwood at London Fashion Week / September
5. Shooting for Ann Summers new brand look / September
6. Exhibition of Group 2 "Unexpected" in Brighton ( I Died Loved ) October
7. Exhibition "Rising Stars" in Doven / October
8. A little encounter with Johnny Depp ( I knoooow !!! ; ) / November
9. All Xmas time in London / December
10. Xmas in Paris & Normandia / December

The moral of this shortlist story ? The best things in life don't come without a struggle. And love is one amongst them...

I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPIEST YEAR EVER !!!

Awake Dreams ...

2010-11-24T22:24:00.013+01:00

Photography © Marta Lamovsek

Personally, I always preferred thoughts about my future were a bit blurred, abstract if I may, always keeping my options open. When it was to make a decision for more than three months ahead ... you must be joking? Guess what ... things are changing. As you grow smarter, you trust your intuition more and there's no fear of something more interesting jumping in the picture. Talking trusting your guts one fucking hundred percent.

However, even with the "living in the world of endless possibilities where everything is possible" and always-start-from-from-the-scratch attitude, the last couple of months made me conscious I somehow always religiously was following at least one constant path, without exception, there were no keeping open options here:

It was the need of walking in step with MY PURPOSE.

And here, I did (almost) no mistakes, because when mistake were done, no sleep at night. And troubled restless dreamer can not be walking in step with THE Purpose, can she … or he? So what about that thoughts of the future? Being an abstract as I proudly am: I see it's bright, with the sharpen areas. I see the big change coming up and there is no blur. And! No need for auto focus, I know exactly which areas to sharpen, so I’ll do it manually, with a skill - it comes with the experience...

Yeah, it’s just like making the photograph.

So I'm still here, OK ? And guess what, I've been working on some exciting projects and I'm sure you guys don't want to be the last to hear about it, AM I RIGHT ? So keep coming because you know how I suck at keeping secrets very long !!

All right, glad we're still on the same page (literally). So for today, if you haven't already saw it on facebook - there's been a little interview published with me and here's the link of it (click). I love the title the journalist friend Mojca Vakselj used for it: When I'll be big, I'll be Vivenne Westwood. Pretty much a PERFECT title to me and sounds good also in slovenian : ) !

Next thing I wanted to share with you, and I will now tell you something even my mom doesn't know yet : I am finally learning the language of love & sex, oh yes - Marta Lamovsek is learning French !! And let's just say, i'll hopefully soon be able to say a few more words than just the obvious ones because I've been lucky enough to have a veeery special personal teacher...

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE

2010-08-27T14:48:00.013+01:00

No matter what you've been told, the world is in fact out to get you. Get a grip. Reach out for anything you can hold on to. There will be no comfort. Don't waste anymore time trying to be like or be liked. Instead, get down and dirty with yourself. It's not enough to masturbate with your left hand. Stop being ashamed to yourself anyway. Keep those skeletons in the closet. Whoever thought they made you interesting? Get real.

This is the fist paragraph from a shiny silver book THE SWEDISH DANCE HISTORY where among 1103 pages above picture with the book idea rockstar Marten Spanberg, Ajda and me is published ... This book is pretty god damn cool and not just saying that because I AM IN THE BOOK.

Get real!

Unleash The Sexual Confidence.

2010-08-13T19:37:00.028+01:00

I knooooow, but this summer has been pretty WILD - If you know what I'm sayin 8-) After my graduation show at St Martins in London (in June, the last time I posted here) I went home to Slovenia for a project where I was a photography mentor to slovenian most successful ex model agent Stane Hering. After one week of workshop I went to a road trip with one of my dearest girlfriend Anika to Dolomiti mountains in Italy, where we had some unleashing the girls craziness and all sorts of stuff I can't share here ;-) Oh, there was a Thelma & Louise moment, meaning the best one in that movie - ah-ha, you know exactly what I mean...

Okaaj, so after that awesomeness I went directly to Vienna, I was spending 25 days as a official photographer at the world's biggest dance festival ImpulsTanz. And what an amazing experience that was! I was having the time of my life - collaborating with so many wooooohow people - felt really grateful for being a part of it and I wish to be there next year again! Lucky me, I've been a guest - living with two dear friends and one of the most amazing couple Ajda Es and Tomaž Plahuta - must say that after a few days now I already miss them mucho!

So 4 days ago I came back home, and before I managed to unpack my stuff (mess, messy, messier), I went on a little road trip in a little cabriolet with a sexy woman - well, I was hired by her for a photo session. So, my job was to shot a very sassy, smart and successful slovenian in the island of Croatia. (See the shot on this post - and for now, I'll keep it a secret who is she... ;-)

After another week in Slovenia where I will be having the second part of my teaching workshop my next project is in London where I will be returning on 20th of August. Fingers crossed I will be shooting for a lingerie brand from UK.

Hm, looks like my life has brought me back to my "sexuality roots" - because it seems I will be in the near future photographing more and more the women who knows how to unleash the sexual confidence...

...and boy, I like to stick around to capture that.

Stay tuned for more. I shall not disappoint you :-)

Agent Cooper's Little Secret

2010-03-20T00:00:00.008+01:00

I just discovered a fascinating post on Kyle MacLachlan who was Special Agent Dale Cooper. Also, I found this quote bellow which has actually nothing to do with the above Kyle thing but I still think it's a good one to share. I'm sure Agent Cooper would approve and might talk to Diane about it.

"The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end." - Claude M. Bristol

Turning Dream Into Artwork: My Degree Project at St. Martins

2010-03-18T16:13:00.051+01:00

One year ago, on the eighteenth day of March as the clock shows rise and shine, I woke up with a dream that changed my life.

Symbolically I am exactly one year after (it's also my sister's birthday) starting creative processes for college’s degree project. I shall name it by David Lynch's thought of the day that triggered this dream of mine on that magical night: so those three words were ROCKS ARE MELTING. I know that said makes no sense to you but god knows it makes a hell of a sense to me! Those were words that inspired the dream, so I said If my subconscious desires it, all I can do is follow...

Our final degree show (exhibition) will take place on 17. June 2010 with a Private View at Central Saint Martins on Charring Cross Building in the heart of Soho.

Apparently not a lot of time left, uh? This means we're going to be very busy those 2 months as there is so much to do: catalog, portfolio, promo cards, bushiness cards, web page, project evaluation, a fat workbook, preparation of the space and of the entertainment part of the show BUT the most important - ZE PHOTOGRAPHS.

Any kind of support for my postgraduate project is most welcomed. As potential sponsors I would like to invite companies that associate their brand with imagination, creativity, innovation and artistic excellence. If this sounds like your company and you are a dreamer yourself, drop me a line at lamovsek@gmail.com so I can provide details of our dream-scenario-collaboration. :) Thank you!

Now, let's first start to roll that rocks ...

"When Art Makes You Younger"

2010-03-06T20:31:00.019+01:00

Hi, marvelous creative folks! Lately, I guess it's that time of the year, a few people decided to interview me. The feature I'm presenting you today has been done with an ambitious young Croatian Danijel Šivinjski - a photographer, blogger, journalist and a full time creative guy who has been author of this extremely fast-growing-interesting-stories-about-emerging-artists blog Die Without Art.
The story behind this title he chose for my feature "When Art Makes You Younger" was in fact a funny thing. When I told him the date of my birth, he thought I made the mistake. I suddenly realized that actually - in media - my age before this interview was never revealed. Well, now you know. (I grow younger and psst, Kate Moss AND Cameron Diaz are both older than me ;-D

So read the article - it tells you stuff about my future plans, about my show in London and also, it says a few words about you, my dear readers! So I guess this was it for today: I wish you all a life full of exciting possibilities and please, stay young forever.

Didn't find the link? How about click here.

I apologize for not being here for such a long time. Billion things is happening right now and by this I'm not thinking London Fashion Week! Meanwhile I was in Ljubljana for a few days, did some work, too. A dear friend, young fashion designer tells me I'm not posting enough of new stuff on my blog - I agree. I apologize again! I am here at Central Saint Martins on a postgraduate study of photography and my time is super limited (and a recession is a super bitch). So surprisingly enough, at this particular times I'm not so after impressing you, my dear friends, but to impress my tutors ... but how do I know they aren't checking this blog ?? = Indeed, you'd be surprised how many people from UK do pop up here...

However, I wish to pay a tribute to the Londoner who was a grand inspiration and a man who was also alumni of Central Saint Martins. It was exactly 10 days ago, while we were having this particular photo shot with Jacob, when I got the news from my ex fashion photography master that he was found dead. Rest in peace, Lee.

Dark Secrets? My Middle Name.

2010-01-29T16:44:00.020+01:00

The only thing I despise about London is the feeling I'm missing something life-changing out. I am aware this is the side affect of a big city but knowing that's basically my personality issue I do suffer from this deeply. Especially when I have to spend the day in my office! I'd fly over the city day and night (yeah, like a batman!) and just land where there's bloody stuff happening. It's been a while I had partying weekend, so tonight it's the nickknight @Old Blue Last ... but first, Marta has to finish CSM homework!

Among other assignments, until Monday I have to make a little print portfolio based out of shots I did for and during the course. OMG, they are very very very sunless and blackish! Woot happened to you, one might put the screws to? Dunno, maybe it's reflecting my artistic aim - revealing dark secrets and strange mysteries of the human soul?

Oh yeah, I'm watching you, you little bats & monsters ... even when you crawl in the darkness!

About Those Insane Collaborations ...

2010-01-27T11:23:00.009+01:00

“It’s really smart the way Dazed takes a group of artists, all at the top of their game, throws them into a studio with a canvas (the model) and knows that some insane collaboration will be the final product.” says model Lyle Lodwick.
Splendid idea, just throw me there sometimes too, you'll be dazed and amazed ... ;-)

7 things in 7 days

2010-01-20T04:28:00.004+01:00

#1. I was walking with a home made cup of tea and a sandwich in a near Garret Park on a sunny day.
#2. I got email I'm now a part of VICE magazine blogging network (check the badge down right)
#3. I was hired to make photographs for a new vintage shop's web. (I was photographing a coat that once belonged to Audrey Hepburn.)
#4. After a great night away in Chelsea I drove home in a taxi at 8 AM
#5. I confess to the professor I still didn't wrote one word into a very complex Study Proposal two days before deadline.
#6. I cried to a friend over Skype (just a little, don't panic!)
#7. Today I started to write my Study Proposal which I'm still working on as we speak (and obviously taking a needed break). Will be working on it another 23 hours or so.

Have a great week and don't forget to send me postcards from wherever you are!!!

The Big Swimming Inspiration

2010-01-20T02:42:00.025+01:00

That's Martin Strel, 52, a guy from Slovenia (my home country) who swam the world's most dangerous river, the mighty Amazon. I just recently watched the documentary movie "The Big River Man" and I must say that was - in fact - the most AMAZONG documentary movie I ever saw in my life! Awe-inspiring story, surreal and absolutely unforgettable.

And since VICE just did an fresh interview with the big guy, and since I'm kinda a fresh Vice member myself, I thought you might wanna read it. Check out this link!

Soldier becomes a Warrior

2010-01-14T12:02:00.008+01:00

The most precious photograph I ever made in terms of not be able to see an emotion on a person face. I'm looking at this picture as an emotion itself. While my imagination is like "battlefield, wounded, warrior dying, sunset" without saying a single word a warrior like Emulgator makes that happen.

Dream Catcher, Margaritas & Secrets

2010-01-13T03:46:00.036+01:00

London awaited me with open arms, for the first time. Je'tadore this year first course at St. Martins this Monday, especially after school special with girls... ;) Looking forward to tones of spring term homework & I can't even believe I said that. :D

But somehow everything feels like a million years passed by since the last time I was here. It's like a new time zone, new life! Perhaps I look at things differently now because I'm freshly inspired, but basically everything changed! I have a new flatmate, healthy tan, SNOW, new GIGS, the new room with a dream catcher on the wall (present from ex flatmate Jaka, the 1/2 of Kitsch Nitsch), new artistic motivations and - not least important, a NU lifestyle...

Wait, a new lifestyle? Yes: I smoked my last cigarette before Christmas - that was like forever-3-weeks-ago in Marocco. I just quitted. (Why? - I was such a fan of smoking?) I knooow. It's super-boring. But wanna know the SECRET?

It was the easiest thing I ever did.

Yesterday was hot. Today is WARM.

2010-01-06T01:14:00.020+01:00

Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories, they say! Now, I know it's depressing time you're all going through (I see you, Twitters!) and just so you know that I'm not enjoying making your days even more miserable. It's completely okaj if some of you would like to believe I'm totally posting old summer photos here ... but I'm afraid this lovely shot was taken TODAY...! :) Jup, it's 5. January, 20 degrees, warm breeze, blue skies, golden sunshine ... and it is a Tuesday and stuff ;) I prayed Alah, and I finally got a decent photo from Essaouiraoof myself!

I'll post some photos of this place on Facebook, also will add link here, so you can see if you'd like to come sometimes too! It's really cool laid-back winter getaway place, cheap, (we love cheap!), great food, spices, ... and with a sunny terrace, what else could you possibly need?

Ok, this should make you feel better: I posted this to keep me warm through this months yet to come, because in a couple of days, I'm back in London again ... is it snowing, right? Dear God ... Well, I'll be strong: what a girl must do, a girl must do.

*I miss you, Marocco, come again soooooooooooon*

The Straight Story

2010-01-03T22:04:00.026+01:00

Even though my first post last year started with a flu & recession, those two words surely weren't the trending topic that rocked my boat in 09. Oh no. I said "screw the recession" when the year started and I kept the promise: in totally my-kind-of manner I didn't give a damn about it. People were being careful and sticking to what they've got, me, quite the opposite. Of course I was broke ALMOST all of the time, but I'm a fighter and that didn't stop me from traveling and living 13 different countries in three different continents in 09 - you're damn right I counted them! And to go on - recession didn't stop me to enroll into leading UK art college and moving to London either ... I shall not go on, because, the rest, as they say, is history ;)

So 2009 year was about a few of my biggest dreams coming true *scroll back this blog and you'll get the picture* truly amazing year spent with legendary and inspiring people, yet also sad because of the lost of MJ ... However, this year was also about realizing some essential facts all over again. I'll just sum them up for you in short version, so we can all carry on with our lives, eh? :)

OK, AMBITIOUS BOYS AND GIRLS, READ IT AND REMEMBER IT :

It's not enough you're highly professional, not enough you have passion - or, in my case - you are passion, not enough you're an internationally recognized talent, you're a hard worker, on a way to master your craft and - on top of that - you have a personality to base a movie on. No! That is not enough at all. That is not what makes you get jobs that pays your bills out there. And I bet you wanna know what gets you jobs that pays your bills out there? I'll tell you what that is - IT IS PEOPLE, my dear friends. It is people who hires you and give you jobs that pays your bills. And you want to know more? Like, where are this people from? Well, think again - in the very beginning of your journey - this people are from your home country!! They are the ones that know about you already. They know about you very well. They know exactly what you do and how well you do it. The question is: what are they waiting for? Are you listening, Slovenia? There, I've said it.

In conclusion: I know I am stubborn rebel-with-a-dream and I understand this might not be THE must perfect timing for paying the most expensive rent on the planet in order to make my final postgraduate project. BUT I can not decide weather it is a good or bad timing for realizing my dream, can I? You can not tell your heart - "STOP for 10 years", can you?
So nevertheless - stay high on life with me and you'll see that one day we'll all drink champagne. Or mojito. Or cider. Or whatever. Just keep coming here and wish me happy 3th anniversary of this blog, because I might bloody deserve it. Cheers.

xoxo

PS: I'm visiting Slovenia somewhere in the start of February, for a week or maybe even two, hopefully earn some cash - I think this will make happy at least two people, who deserves gold medal for patience - one is Damijan and another is Primož. *I see that smileeee*

The Magical Start

2010-01-01T16:19:00.028+01:00

Happy New Year, everyone!

It's 1. January 2010 and my day started highly exceptional: this morning my love and I woke up early, jogged through awakening medina to the lonely long sandy beach.

Do you agree that there's nothing like having all the beach for yourself?

For the first time in 14days that we're here in Essaouira, Marocco - today, the beach was really clean - like the Ocean splashed away all the dirtiness of the 00's? The sun was kissing me there - literally, and with a finger in the sand I draw J + M in the shape of heart.

And then we watched the waves go milky on the rocks... oh, that warm breeze in our faces. Intoxicating. We walked and jogged until we saw only sea, foam around the rocks in it and the desert far away ...

For a moment I stopped : this are the melting rocks!

2010, my friends, is going to be magical. Promise.

Ah, that Advertising Project I did for Gorenje

2009-12-26T18:35:00.029+01:00

For some reason I kept my biggest advertising project of 2009 as a secret until now. Not on purpose, of course.

Sometimes magical things happens and one of them was that a big company Gorenje needed somebody for their advertising campaign of a new collection of retro fridge freezers. The true magic starts when they choose me, Marta Lamovšek, to solve all the fatal tasks of the ad campaign: idea solution, project managing and art direction & photography.

Why me, one might shout?

1) they wanted something fresh

2) they wanted something-MartaLamovšek

3) they wanted to go from "plain cold to just cool".

I pitched them six (6) ideas, some of them were pretty brilliant, perhaps dazzling, two really crazy (oops, but a bit too much), but one of them was just simple, fresh and sort of a keeper. Since they had no big budget planned for this campaign, they agree to go along with the "just cool". So I build 3 different placements for 3 kinds of color lines and a brand new image of that charming-touch-of-nostalgia.

So yeah, Gorenje Retro Collection project was a huge and very valuable experience for all of us. However, after 3 months (headaches:) the project was successfully finished - the client was happy and I was on that plane to LA. Then, after the summer of living and catching the california dream, the money was gone. Still, the reference stays. Finally, that nostalgic feeling in me tells me I also gotta say this - perhaps for the sake of my artistic future - may 2010 be all about this kind magic, yes?

There Comes an Adorable Man ...

2009-11-21T02:11:00.014+01:00

I came across this Britain (female) designer with a passion in menswear so many billion times at Dazed in the past year, that it would be such a preposterous shame not to give her a GO here. In fact, I am more and more jealous of men just because of Katie Eary ... Well, not really, but lets say I'm glad that men's fashion is finally getting more daring & exciting! That said, it soon might open a new era of sweet little battles with ours men that dresses far to good not to be gays.

"Why menswear? It’s more fun to play with. We all have it in uss to dress up, but in human nature it is always the males who are far more grandosie and beautiful then the female. Its just since the Victorian era mens fashion became to a slave to ‘making things easier’. How did we go from the beautiful tied cravat to a tie with elastic hidden under the collar?" she said. I absolutely agree, men should be all gorgeous and fashion addicts like we are! We shall all benefit. Ha, ha!

Homework: Mr Neon & Miss Vampire

2009-11-14T23:38:00.014+01:00

This shot belongs to a series of photographs I made last week for my homework on the "time and movement" assignment. I asked my roomates Jaka and Anina to be my models for the scenario I created in my mind - they were gladly to 'act in my movie' and were amazing to work with!!

So the story is about Mr Neon who visits his late love ... she appears in the grave yard as a ghost ... then, when the dark comes and she becomes a vampire he decided to take her bite just to be with her ...

I knooow, I'm so hopelessly romantic! :)

Alien Landed in Eastern Europe

2009-11-10T21:59:00.011+01:00

"There’s something powerfully weird about this beautiful photoset by Marta Lamovsek, not least in this image, where the model really does look like an alien landed in eastern Europe." says Warren Ellis, well-known English writer on his well-known web page.
By the way, his new comic book SUPERGOD is out this Wednesday. Must say there is something powerfully weird about this beautiful cover ... and the title. (See the image bellow this post.)

I swear to God, I have to lay my hands on inside of that book.

Truth or Dare?

2009-11-07T15:45:00.001+01:00

There is no future without a past, they say. My past is pretty mysterious, in a way. I could write a book about my life that nobody knows about ... but, I'm not into that - I have no need to tell you all my dirty little secrets.

Nevertheless you must be aware of the fact, that each time I create a photograph, a visual, I reveal a little bit more about myself: what I have been seeing, what I have been through, what touched my heart, what is my world all about... I can hide, but I can't escape, can I?

Brane B. Kastelic meets Marta L. Lamovšek

2009-11-07T13:55:00.017+01:00

Pred dnevi sem v Londonu naredila intervju z Branetom Kastelicem. "Kako sem spoznala svojega novinarskega boga erotike?" je intervju za seksi Blogorolo, ki je pred dnevi izšla v tiskani verziji. Toplo jo vsem priporočam v branje - in gledanje! No, in včeraj sem na Branetovem blogu zasledila tale post, kjer je po prvem odstavku o pornošik Beyonce opisal svojo izkušnjo med prvim srečanjem, pogovorom in fotkanjem z mano, zadeto od lajfa.

"Po pravici povedano, sem se tako, kako bi rekel, ja, naskakovalno, počutil tudi, ko me je fotografinja Marta Lamovšek (na študiju v Londonu), s katero sva se prvič srečala v živo, fotkala za novo tiskano Blogorolo (mislim, da je že izšla), za katero je z menoj delala tudi intervju (pogovarjala sva se, kot morda domnevate, predvsem o seksu, čeprav se rad pogovarjam tudi o drugih rečeh).
Nagajive električno modre oči, seksi nasmehi in smeh, mimika obraza, telesna govorica, sonček, to, da ga je ves čas imela v rokah – fotoaparat – in da je vztrajno pritiskala - sprožilec – je v meni ustvarilo nepopisno prijetno erotično napetost, kakršne še nisem doživel med fotkanjem, čeprav so me v bistvu veliko krat fotkali zelo dobri fotografi.
Pa ne samo zato, ker mislim, da je bila Marta prva ženska - fotografinja, ki me je pofotkala samega, brez družine…
Na delu je bila kemija. Prvič sem med fotkanjem zares užival… In prvič sem se moral držati nazaj, da nisem naskočil osebe, ki je imela v rokah… fotoaparat! Upam, da se to na fotkah pozna!"

Hja, kaj naj rečem, razen - z nedolžnim nasmehom do ušes: Brane, Brane, Brane ... ;)

Homework: Young Masters Exhibition

2009-10-20T21:45:00.001+01:00

One of a few great stuff when visiting an art school like Saint Martins is all the amazing exhibitions you MUST see and then make a presentation. My homework was to go deeper into one of many "young masters" at The Cynthia Corbett Gallery - an artist Maisie Broadhead ... Must say I was impressed that the inspiration from Old Masters paintings, like above seen Nible Pinch is actually just an idea how to present jewellery - she is after all not a photographrer, but jewellery designer.

So her work is a collection of photography and accompanying jewellery. Installations have a lighthearted humor that pierces the illusion of wealth. Each photograph is a modern day re-interpretation of a historical painting where jewellery is at the centre of the image’s meaning. The photographs have accompanying jewellery that act as key props within each of the images.

When depicted in the photograph the jewellery appears quite traditional, yet when the pieces are experienced physically we see there is illusion at work (when viewed from the intended angle, makes the stone appear to be a large, precious treasure). In the flesh the jewellery is a collection of distorted and hidden half-truths by which Broadhead invites the viewer to reconsider stereotypical notions of status and wealth.

Stranger and the Gypsys

2009-10-18T17:04:00.015+01:00

The story behind this editorial is about aristocratic woman who traveled around the globe searching freedom in every possible way. She hasn't found it.
Then, at last, the search brought her in the forgotten-from-the-world village of gypsyes in the south of Macedonia. She was deeply touched by the passion for life and a playful attitude that gypsy culture possess. She's been under that inspiration ever since ...

Always Learn From The Best

2009-10-07T22:45:00.019+01:00

On scale 1 to 10 - how much did you missed me? Don't tell me you almost give up on me? Shame on you! ;) Well yeah, I admit that this time I might been taking a break too long - but - there has been some life changing situations for me in between here and there, I needed to take time for some mind-blowing good times with my friends in Ljubljana, did an editorial for Joy and Modna (both will be out in October issue) and not to mention all that dedicated creative-thinking on a subject "how will I survive in London? Where are you, my potential future clients? Sponsors? Anyone?" Well, I figure it out by now: what I'll do is I'll just work harder. There are no shortcuts to the place worth coming.

So, what else is new? Yesterday I was attending my first day at Central Saint Martins and that, my dear photography lovers, is about to be reflected a lot on this blog in the future. My new tutors, course director Andrew Watson and Kathryn Faulkner made our first day super vibrant and most promising! Also, well worth mentioning is that my fellow students and me is gonna be learning a lot from each other. People in the class are from all around the globe and from all sorts of different background: some of them had fine art education history, one of them is using their body as a camera (!!), some they are painters mixing photography, some had a degree from psycho analysis, indeed some fantastic photographers I've already catch a glimpse of their work but of course - most of them I still haven't be able to talk to during the full first day.

What I suspect is, that I am most likely the only Pg student of photography in the class who has been involved in professional fashion photography. Thanks to Aleš Bravničar I had the best school of fashion photography one can have in Slovenia. And now being a part of a student community of one the most famous art school in the world - with alumni fashion designers like John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Gereth Pugh, Stella McCartney, Paul Smith etc. this means I could be smoking in front of that old respected building with a new Vivienne Westwood ... and who knows: I may learn a thing or two again :)

Between Here and There

2009-08-27T03:29:00.014+01:00

Tell you something: there's no place like California, however, there's a place called Home. Truth is, I actually haven't got one at the moment. I mean, I have many of them, but well, I'm now living here and there and in between. No, sometimes home is not necessarily where your heart is. And it's not always fun, It can be hard, too. Nomad lifestyle? It's a lifestyle one must try sometimes :)

So here's the news: despite so many adventures I had so far, it's official: I'm home sick to my bones! Yea, I'm coming to visit! ;) I figure it's not gonna be enough time to do everything and to see everybody in this 14 and so days, since meanwhile I have some work to do 2, but still, we have some serious catch up to do!! It's been a loooong amazing summer ... but this Summer is not even over ;)

Magical Girl from Ely's Yard

2009-08-16T22:00:00.013+01:00

Look at that girl and picture this: as I was hanging around on Ely's yard I set down by the street at the point where from the speakers strike the tune of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. All of a sudden I noticed this girl ... this kid starts dancing to that song, I mean, she makes the MJ's moves with such confidence and style like she's on the top of the world. Meanwhile, her parents were around as well and you could see her father encouraging her. Stunned by her performance I couldn't help capturing her with my little camera. As she noticed it, she acts naturally as she's used to it.
She must be five or so, but she's a great mover and you could tell she's born to be on the stage. She was born to be a star. I could see it in her eyes ...

"She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round ... He told me her name was Billie Jean ..."

Fancy a Rank?

He's been shooting every day at the Truman Brewery in the heart of Brick Lane. Rankin's most ambitious exhibition with his first ever UK retrospective ... talking about the right time at the right place! Oh! and by the way, Rankin Live! means you can apply to be shot exclusively by him ...

NOW how about that?

All Night London

That can give somebody a hint that one can't sleep tonight ... true! But meanwhile, a gentle reminder to my faithful high-on-life viewers. As many of you already noticed - I am beyooond busy. Haha, that sounded like a JOKE! (It's eeeer, not.) Anyway, you can anytime follow my activities on Twitter. Click here, and I'm with you. Well, kind of ...

A Touch of Destiny

This photograph was made in between our notorious road trip to Macedonia's Fashion Week this April - to be precise - we shot this after that crazy experience with the gypsies.
However, until this moment I haven't published it anywhere else than in my Book. Davorka knows that. :) But now - I cannot keep it to myself anymore. Not after I just reminiscent of the people around me when that moment was stolen in time ...

Living in East End

2009-08-09T20:39:00.014+01:00

For some odd, peculiarly good reason, I'm watching at fireworks from my porch. London, you are getting me all hoked minute after minute ...

I'm now captain Jack myself.

I'm almost ready for Jack Sparrow to pick me up at Gibraltar port which, (not) surprisingly enough, is actually - an airport. An airport by the sea placed under a huuuge rock. Yes, a rock.
But let's go back to Jack. The case is - he's not really coming. Because, metaphorically speaking, I'm now a captain Jack myself! And my ship doesn't have a crew, it least not this time. Which means I'll have to conquer the British island all by my self. As far this that is concerned, it happened before - in a way, but still, you are welcomed to keep your fingers crossed for me. I have a battle to win on 8. August in London. It's called IELTS.

Celebration of Life (in Tarifa)

2009-07-21T14:47:00.014+01:00

Hey, my precious readers & viewers! :) As my Facebook friends and Twitter followers from you already got the idea - the flow (&the plan) has brought me to the southernmost tip of Europe - Tarifa, a lovely spanish town full of natural beauty, long sandy beaches, kite and wind surfers & hot lookin' boyz and gurlz, not to mention the astonishing history and endless possibilities to set yourself free and make your body and soul re:feel the nature ... and the people in it... and U2!

It all seems to me like a celebration of everything I've ever done ...
So I've traveled here just to expand the trust to the plan Universe has prepared for me? Maybe.
Ready to take a jump to the colourful Unknown? Yeees. & U2 can feel it...
