Italian Wall LizardLast few days I was shooting students from some biology college from Netherland who came to Croatia for a maritime biology field study. It was a group of 91 students & it was really a nice job for me to witness their work, hang out with the youngsters and capture all these moments of their scientific research of the sea organisms. They were mostly collecting samples from the sea, including plants and small animals, doing some measurements & experiments & didn't hurt any animal in the process. As we were spending all day long near the seaside & the temperatures were high, many lizards were running around so I decided to catch one in the photo & I did it. Even I was surprised to be able so easily to capture one - maybe I was just lucky this time.
The Girl In A Red DressEven thou probably has been explained scientifically how and why the red color effects the viewer to become so attracted to the object or why it evokes such an attraction towards the red object in the eyes of the viewer, for me it is still less logical and more connected to the more natural, inner urge or instinctual reaction towards the red color object. Maybe it has something with the color of the blood cause we all grew up in the womb surrounded by blood and get we also get born in blood. It is maybe the unconscious call for reconnecting with the physical source where we have descendent from. And it is not only in the human word. Many animals react on the bloody red. Nevermind, the shots are more important! Let us enjoy them...
The DarknessWhat is that shining in the dark?One time, when I realized that the 2 people I know were a couple for a while, I asked him: "Why you ain't together anymore? (Cause she is very beautiful and seems pretty normal when interacting with me.)" He answered to me in Croatian: "Nije zlato sve što sja!", which can be translated like "It's not the gold whatever is shining!" or maybe better "All that glitters is not gold!"
PanteraThis shot associates me with Africa & with the American Black Panther movement but also it's extremely funky & wild, erotic & passionate, very alive. The black background strangely but successfully emphasizes Sara pops her expressive form out of the shot. I love it!
SquattingI really had no words to ad to this post so I accidentally published it with no words! After posting it, I edited it to write this few rows after all. Anyway, I am continuing to edit the shots I made with Sara. I have pretty much work to do but I am very satisfied with the results! Incredible photography we have made during these photo shootings! That is also a reason why I have nothing to write cause the shots are really good just to look at!
Mini Photo Showcase: SaraAs I have returned from India I got back to my photo work & I'm slowly but steadily editing the photos that I made with Sara few months ago, just before we went to India. Sometimes I wish I have more time to do it but I do a lot more work in between. It's springtime in Croatia & Nature is awakening as well as the people so I'm cropping fruit trees, hunting some wild plants & soon mushrooms while awaiting for some photo engagements. I like this kind of seasonal jobs changing all year long so I don't get bored by only doing the same thing over and over again. Sometimes I even get sick of photography if do only photography all the time.
