I know that it's been a long while, but I'm back, more alive then ever.

XX Chromosome

In the past couple of days everyone have been asking me what is this XX Chromosome thing I've been working for. Well, I must tell you, I have never crossed on something as this. It's a team of people I've been given a chance to work with and they are creating professional modeling books and they're aiming big, huge. I was their photographer of course. We have been shooting for three days for eight or nine hours and it was wonderful. You will see a preview of the work we've done on their site and Facebook page. The model I shot is called Marija Mandić, and she is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever photographed and I will continue to do so throughout the year.
The designer for the book is Sanja Šajatović Čežek, and she is absolutely brilliant, I must say.
The book is now in post-production and will be published in December, or January if everything turns out right.
I shot with my Yashica and spent 12 rolls of film. The photographs came out perfect.
I can't wait to see the book design!! :)

Here are some of the promo photographs that were published for the past few days...

Best wishes,
Goran

I do not see beauty here

''Grozna' is the only word I can relate to this portrait. I do not see beauty here.'

I finally got myself to scan the photographs I've done in February with a dear friend.

Pieces of dreams.

I was looking forward to shooting these two girls. They are studying painting at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad.
Had a rough day. Week perhaps.
This cleared my head and calmed me down for a while I guess.
Enjoy...

Light

I love it when spring comes and the warm sun starts shining. My work gets a whole new perspective from it. I'm starting to realize how much I actually love every season of the year and how much it affects my feelings.
Enjoy the photographs of my dear friend Jelena.

The other side

Here I am again with new photographs. I've been working non stop in these past three days. Today I shot with a new friend from my high school. He is a singer/performer/actor. His name is Nebojša Vlaškalić. Our famous singer Aleksandra Kovač composed a song for him because he was her best student this year.
Remember his face, because he is going to be one of our best singers one day.
We did some promotional photographs for him.

Enjoy... :)

Nothing Personal

Part of my portrait reportage for my photography exam.
The subject is my grandmother.
It suppose it would be boring for me to shoot something else for this task, so I suggested to my professor to try and work out something with her.
This is not only a reportage for me. It is also my study of light. Study of her soul.
I say that because she is kind of a mystery for me. We've been living together all my life, and only now have I come to know her.

Done with Yashica 635.

Just today. :)
I almost forgot how fun is to chase the light.
