Description

Motovun

The phenomenon of Motovun emerging from the fog is not uncommon in November, and many photographers have recorded it from the surrounding hills. In order to capture this scene for the first time with a professional aerial photograph – and thus get the third view with the fog behind the hill – the author spent twelve days in Motovun and waited. When the fog gathered in the morning and Motovun peeked out, the author would rush to the airport in Pula, an hour drive away, but as he flew back to Motovun, the fog either dissipated or swallowed the picturesque town at the top of the hill. He managed to capture the desired photo from the third attempt.

Limited Edition

A lot of effort has been invested in the ‘Croatia from Above’ project. Some of the photos were taken along the way, during research flights, but most of the photos were planned for special moments of light and meteorological conditions. Several of motives had to be pursued for a long time and dozens of hours of flight were spent on their creation. Some scenes were filmed over and over again, until the goal was achieved – a completely unique and unrepeatable photograph.

The Limited Edition Photographs were published in the magazine National Geographic Croatia, in a photomonograph, and were exhibited at the ‘National Geographic – Croatia from Above’ exhibition. To prevent over-reproduction, the motifs are not available for purchase by travel and photography agencies. They can only be obtained in a special, high-quality print, and the maximum reproduction is five pieces per photograph! Each photograph is signed and numbered, and on its back the author hand-printed the story of how it was created. The photograph comes with a certificate and confirmation that it will not be duplicated in more than five copies.
