Thank you, dear jury, for the Slovenia Press Photo (SPP) Award 2010. And what a jury it was!

Polaris (The New York Times Brazil),
Murad Sezer from
Reuters Turkey (Pulitzer winner 2003),
Oded Balilty from
Associated Press Israel (Pulitzer winner 2007) and

The biggest honour was the organiser's call after the results came in, passing personal congratulations from the jury via the phone in the middle of my photographic assignment in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands.
You can see the photos and the whole story

They were shot for Modna Jana magazine with the immaculate help of Luka Luka, the supertalented make-up artist.
