The idea was to capture Nina’s personality in a series of energetic, upbeat photos. Not too hard to do, since that’s exactly the person she is!

The nation-wide campaign for Mobitel was created by Publicis and Ajax Studio. I have to say it’s been an honour to be a part of this project.

I was the winner in the Best advertising photo category! :) The photograph was done for the Pattex brand!

Poets, designers, athletes, musicians - creators of all kinds. This is the fourth time I've had the privilege of photographing these young talents. As each comes with their own brand of creativity, the photos needed to reflect that and hint at their area of expertise. Everything was shot over a couple of days in Kolosej and Arena in Ljubljana. I love the outcome, the photos really turned out great. And I also think they succeed in giving away glimpses into each of the young talents creativity. You can view photos in full-screen gallery. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/15-02-2010/ Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:38:00 GMT Mercator is the largest slovenian commerce chain with hundreds of outlets – from small grocery stores to enormous hypermarkets. They are big. Really big. And as befits a big multinational company, they also have their own internal magazine, called »Casomer« (a very loose translation would be something along the lines of »measuring time«). It's a bi-monthly magazine for all present and retired employees of Mercator. And keeping up with its employee-centric spirit, are also the covers! Each cover of the magazine features a Mercator employee. This year they were done by me - in a single day we've shot the covers for the whole year, in Mercator stores in Ljutomer and Maribor, the latter also being the winner of Mercator's best store competition. I think the photos turned out great! The photoshoot took place during the working hours, so you can imagine how lively everything was. And fun. Could it be any different, when the store manager treated the team to two big boxes of donuts? ;) http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/24-01-2010/ Sun, 24 Jan 2010 10:38:00 GMT Croatia, our neighbour country, was having presidential elections about two weeks ago.

The brief: five different motives with a well-known slovenian actress Tjaša Železnik. Telemach is coming out with some improved services, so they wanted each of the five motives to represent that. Working with Tjaša was great, I really enjoy the photoshoot - it was both fun and productive. I am very satisfied with the end result, the boys and girls at Saatchi&Saatchi did a great job at turning the photos into print ads. One of the advertisements will hit the media in January, so I can't publish it quite yet. But I really enjoy seeing the rest of these ads in action! http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/09-12-2009/ Wed, 09 December 2009 10:38:00 GMT I love to travel.

Don’t forget to view the photos in full-screen!  The visit was a vacation, and since Thailand is such an amazing country, with beautiful and very friendly people, I just couldn’t resist taking a number of photos for myself. Most of the pictures were shot in the mountains around Chiang Mai, about 700km north of Bangkok.  Also, if you like or even fall in love with a particular photo in the gallery, prints are available. Send me an email, I’ll be happy to give you more information. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/07-10-2009/ Wed, 07 October 2009 10:38:00 GMT The work I did together with advertising agency ImeldaOgilvy recently received some special recognitition – it was selected as the Print Ad for the Week by Luerzer's Archive!

The print ad for Pattex glue brand features an elderly couple that seems to be stuck together for ages – glue, anyone? The pair were really nice to work with. It's always great fun when you have patient and cooperative models at the set! And of course congratulations to the whole team at ImeldaOgilvy for coming up with the award-winning concept. You can see bigger version here: Long lasting glue. Pattex. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/25-05-2009/ Mon, 25 May 2009 8:33:00 GMT Alpina is a well-known brand of sports eyewear and helmets, and also nr.1 in the German market of snow goggles. In Slovenia, their products are sold by ASA Naklo. They wanted to present their new collection in the best possible way. Since skiing is sort of a Slovenian national sport, can you think of a better model than our best skier – Tina Maze, an eight-time FIS race winner and a silver medallist at the 2009 World Championship in Val D’Isere! The photoshoot took place in Tina Maze’s hometown, Črna na Koroškem. I have to say it was quite an honor to work with Tina, not to mention the great athmosphere on the set. I know she doesn’t care much for such titles, but Tina was also selected as the most beautiful participant of the 2006 Olympic Games in Torino, Italy. And for a good reason, too. The photos turned out great! Take a look at my gallery! http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/21-05-2009/ Thu, 21 May 2009 12:58:00 GMT Advertising agency ImeldaOgilvy brought me into their project for Abanka, one of the larger Slovenian banks.

You can see the ad on a number of internet portals as well as in magazines and newspapers. I can say it was a pleasure working for a bank whose customer I am.

They wanted a series of photographs of their employees in their work environment – they were to be used in Mercator’s career/employment portal called M-kariera. The project lasted 6 days and in that time I photographed more than 60 people employed by Mercator. The photoshootings took place in different Mercator malls and centres in Slovenia and I can say the client was very pleased with the outcome. This was definitely a large and challenging project, but at the same time it was great fun! And a great experience. Check out the photos! http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/15-03-2009/ Mon, 15 Mar 2009 16:54:00 GMT I was invited to take part in an advertising campaign for a new lifestyle product on the slovenian market, NightFever (www.nightfever.si). The concept was created by advertising agency Tovarna Vizij and it proved quite a challenge. The photography had to reflect the slogan of the product - "crazy night and fresh morning". As you might have guessed, it's a mix between an energy drink and an anti-hangover (believe it or not, it works!). The models were selected via an online contest - at the end, four people were chosen. The photoshoot had to take place in a studio - the atmosphere was great, we had great fun! There was much fine-tuning and experimenting required, but at the end I was very pleased with the result. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/10-03-2009/ Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:20:00 GMT I'm proud to be able to say my site has won the Favourite Website Award! Two years ago I have received The FWA award for my previous site and web standards have without doubt risen since then. I've wanted the new site to be cutting-edge technically and content-wise, but most of all it had to provide a great user experience through great design. FWA is definitely a recognition of those efforts. Obviously a lot of the credit goes to DrawingArt - www.drawingart.org for doing such a great job with webdesign and programming. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/20-02-2009/ Fri, 20 Feb 2009 12:06:00 GMT My website really needed a thorough revamping, which would reflect the progress I've made as a professional in the recent years. After months of hard work I now proudly present my refreshed online presence! It allows much more interaction with you, the visitor, and - the thing I like the most for obvious reasons - a full screen online gallery. I feel I have in some way achieved both things in my work as - well better relationships with the people I work with and more photography! And I really wished for the site to reflect that. I hope you like it as much as I do and don't forget to check my promotional video from info page. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/14-01-2009/ Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:22:00 GMT An exciting project which came to an end after three days of intense photography.

No wonder National Geographic was always very special to me. It's travel combined with great photography! And to have been awarded by National Geographic feels nothing less than amazing. I have won an award at National Geographic Slovenia competition, in the portrait section. The winning photograph was taken in Morocco and pictures a couple in love. It's title is 'A relationship', but perhaps an even better one would be 'Wedding anniversary'. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/24-11-2008/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:41:00 GMT A friend of mine started this project a while ago. He would write a book. A very special book. A book that would reflect his philosophy that everything is up to you. With more than just words. I strongly believe that as well and am proud to have been able to collaborate on the project with my photos. Now the book has seen the light of day and you might want to check out the website as well. It's positivity all the way! http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/05-09-2008/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:41:00 GMT I was given an opportunity for an exciting photoshoot for a slovenian fashion magazine, Gloss.

It was great working with Katarina Cas, Ica Putrih, Zvezdana Mlakar, Tina Gorenjak. The photoshoot took place on the stage of Spas Teater. Lots of white. Lots of love. Very sexy, to say the least. http://ciriljazbec.com/#/latest-news/21-08-2008/ Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:37:00 GMT A solo exhibition I'm very proud of. It was a great success as well. I have focused on portraying the relationship between a farmer and his land. The photos were taken on a farm near Novo mesto. I have been a regular visitor to the farm for about a week, trying to catch those special moments. It's all about giving a new perspective on a common, everyday thing - the farmer and his land. As with any relationship, I find this one, too, is worth being immortalized through photography.
