This photo story is the result of a partnership between two Macedonians, reunited in Ljubljana, Slovenia. @iksolokin<\/a> & @fabulousisfreedom<\/a> joined their forces in the tropical atmosphere of the Botanical garden. A short introduction of both of them: Jane Nikolovski, a 26-year old self-taught photographer, who is considered one of the best up & coming photographers, was not in the capital of Slovenia by accident (hint: he held a workshop at one of the coolest student projects ever, Free\u0161n<\/a>). Marija Stojkovska, a fashion blogger, born and raised in Skopje, who claims that she became her true self while living and studying in Ljubljana.<\/p>\n

Marija Stojkovska: “I was thinking a lot about how I could describe this photoshoot without being too sappy. If I said that nothing was planned, you probably wouldn’t believe me, but it’s true. The only thing that was for sure was the entrance ticket that cost 1,30\u20ac. The rest was the product of our joint imaginations. It might sound funny, if I start explaining the hair, makeup and outfit details, but I will be as real as I can. I did my makeup as I do it every day, in a hurry and minimal, a lot of accent on the full foundation coverage and everything else to the bare minimum. My curls are part of my 3 day project (that was their third day of coexsisting with me) & I am wearing a swimsuit (as a top) with my favorite jeans. The poses are not spontaneous, I usually don’t even hold a pose, because I move a lot and I get distracted easily. But when you appreciate and admire someone’s work and trust them with your life at the same time , amazing things can happen. I can proudly say that I used my full posing potential for this photoshoot and I hope we will reunite and remake something similar soon. Sometimes, once in a million years, everything just clicks. The outfit, the location, my face, the person behind the camera, the weather… And that’s when magic happens.”<\/p>\n
