portrait of mirela

Mirela was one of the first persons of my project. I photographed her more than two years ago and frequently asked her for a reshoot. This week she walked in our office and told me she was ready to let her portrait taken again.

This time she wasn’t as still as before. We managed only two seconds. Window light and a reflector.


portrait of davor

I know Davor for about four to five years now. We worked together in probably the most hectic department in the firm. After a first transition I came to support when things were falling apart. It was tough, it was hard work, but it was fun as well. Nowadays, the department is probably still most hectic, but after several big changes, at least it is functioning quite well.

In his free time, Davor goes to gym. A lot. His body is quite strong developed which for some reason is not visible on my photo. An image of several seconds is doing miracles with authenticy. You need to relax and therefore posture is in its most natural form.

Window light, a reflector and two seconds.




portrait of luka

As with Silvija, I never really met Luka. I see him in the hall, I know the office he’s working in and I asked him several times for a portrait. But we never really met. Today he agreed on a portrait and that is how I finally got to know him. Window light, a reflector and four seconds.

Mental note to myself: introduce myself to all unknown people in the firm …


portrait of silvija

I should be ashamed of myself. I really should. 

For months I am bothering people in the hall, asking to take their portrait, convincing them they really need to. Happily many of them, in the end, agree. 

And then, there is this awkward moment I have to ask for their name. Not that I forgot it, I simply did not had a chance to proper introduce myself to them. To shake their hand, welcome them in the firm and ask for their name. Silly me.

Meet Silvija. Window light, my reflector and 2 seconds.


portrait of marijan

Today was his last day in the firm. He came three years ago when we were in a quite significant transition phase. As Marijan and I were working in the same department, we worked a lot together, sharing moments of fun, laughter and of course tougher moments.

For him the time came to move forward, try his luck somewhere else. Good luck Marijan, thanks for the great moments we shared.

Window light, a reflector and two seconds.


portrait of mia

For the first time I will show the same person in one post. Normally I would like to have at least some weeks before I make a ’double’. However, Mia astonished me with having a complete different look within two minutes. 

Sadly the second is not as sharp as I wished for since Mia had problems being still: as soon as the timer started, her face started to tremble. Funny. Both images window light plus my reflector.


portrait of kristina

While taking Kristina’s portrait I immediately noticed that her attitude changed while in front of the camera. A calmness appeared and she seemed incredibly relaxed. I’ve photographed many people, but I rarely so such a strong change. Funny.

Despite her calmness, she did not manage to sit still for six seconds. Obviously this is really tough (tougher than 120km ultra trail), and in the end the best photo lasted two seconds only. Window light and a reflector.
