Fructal First

Commercial / Sport · Client: Fructal · Agency: LUNA\TBWA · Role: Photographer · 2018

Fructal First – Fructal

Launch campaign for Fructal First, a new line of functional drinks, created with LUNA\TBWA. Three flavours, three moods: Vitality, Antistress and Detox.

Brief. Give each drink its own emotional world, with images strong enough to carry billboards and leave room for the bottle and headline.

Approach. Three separate scenes, each cast and lit for its flavour: a boxer mid-training for Vitality, a man dancing in his kitchen for Antistress, and a mother and son playing in late sun for Detox.

Result. The images became the key visuals of the national launch, running on jumbo billboards and across the campaign. 3 flavours, three key visuals · OOH national billboard campaign. 6 photos.

A House for a Fast-Paced Family

Commercial · Client: Lesoteka · Role: Photographer · 2026

A House for a Fast-Paced Family – Lesoteka

Architecture and interior photography of a solid-timber family home in Mislinja, built by Lesoteka, the Koroška wood group that takes timber from forest to finished house.

Brief. Show what living in a massive-wood house feels like: the warmth of the timber, the light through the big glazed gables and a layout built around a busy family's day.

Approach. Daylight for the exteriors and the flow of the interiors, then a return at blue hour, when the house glows from inside and the timber reads warmest.

Result. A complete set of architecture and interior images for Lesoteka's presentation of the house. Day to dusk one house, two lights · Solid wood inside and out. 10 photos.

A Day with Filip Flisar

A Day with Filip Flisar – Red Bull

One day with ski-cross world champion Filip Flisar, from waking up at home to training, kit and a late night out.

Brief. Portray the athlete away from the course: the routines, the gear and the personality behind the famous moustache.

Approach. A documentary approach from morning to night, staying close and unobtrusive so the day unfolds naturally in front of the camera.

Result. A documentary series for Red Bull, plus behind-the-scenes frames. 1 day with the athlete · 56 selected images. 10 photos.

Kurent

Portrait · Client: Personal project · Role: Photographer · 2024

Kurent – Personal project

A personal portrait series of the kurenti of Ptuj, made ahead of Kurentovanje 2024, Slovenia's biggest carnival.

Brief. To photograph the people who keep the kurent tradition alive, a custom on UNESCO's list of intangible heritage, and to show the costume up close: sheepskin, bells, ribbons and the mask with its long red tongue.

Approach. A simple portable backdrop set against an old brick wall, so every kurent stands in the same frame: young and old, parents with children, in groups and alone, masked and unmasked.

Result. A series I keep coming back to: one frame, many faces of the same old tradition. 58 final portraits · UNESCO listed tradition. 10 photos.

Ljubljana, Lived In

Commercial · Client: Turizem Ljubljana · Agency: LUNA\TBWA · Role: Photographer · 2019

Ljubljana, Lived In – Turizem Ljubljana

A two-day city campaign for Turizem Ljubljana with LUNA\TBWA, showing the capital the way locals use it: picnics on the Ljubljanica, work by the river, street art, cycling and the city's smart recycling.

Brief. Show Ljubljana as a green, liveable city through everyday scenes, with a cast and look that could stretch across tourism, sustainability and city-life messages.

Approach. Two days across the city, moving from the riverbanks to Metelkova and the old town. A small cast and natural direction, so every scene feels lived in rather than staged.

Result. A final set of 30 images delivered to the agency for the campaign. 30 final images · 2 shoot days. 10 photos.

First Pour, Bohinj

Commercial / Food & Drink · Client: Laško · Role: Photographer · 2019

Sport · Client: Jošt MBS Park · Role: Photographer · 2014

Dusk Riders – Jošt MBS Park

Mountainboard riders at Jošt MBS Park: hero portraits against a winter dusk sky and big air on the park's dirt lines.

Brief. Hero portraits of the park's riders that feel as bold as the sport.

Approach. Portraits in the short window after sunset, balancing the last colour in the sky with light on the rider and board, then action on the jumps and slides through the pines.

Naturally Sparkling

Commercial / Food & Drink · Client: ISA's Kombucha · Role: Photographer · 2026

Naturally Sparkling – ISA's Kombucha

Studio packshots for ISA's Kombucha, a small Ljubljana brewery making raw kombucha in glass jars from fresh cold-pressed fruit. Five flavours, one clean white set.

Brief. Give each of the five flavours a clean, consistent bottle shot that works across the brand's shop and channels, with the colour of the living tea showing through the glass.

Approach. One white studio set and the same light for every bottle, so the five flavours sit side by side as a family: blueberry & lavender, raspberry & ginger, pineapple & apple, cucumber & basil, and cayenne pepper & apple.

Result. A matching set of five packshots, one for each flavour. 5 flavours · 1 studio set. 5 photos.

Brief. Show what Canon cameras can do with food, through dishes that look as good as they taste and a chef with real personality.

Approach. Low, moody light on dark plates and slate, with tight details that bring out texture: crisp crumbs, glossy sauces and fresh herbs.

Brief. Show a serious strength gym that still feels welcoming: the scale of the hall, the quality of the equipment and the people who train there.

Approach. Wide architectural frames of the hall first, then training across every zone, from free weights and the leg press to battle ropes, curved treadmills and the spin room, lit to keep the gym's black-and-gold look.

Team and player portraits for the women's volleyball club Triglav Kranj: every player, the coaching staff and the full squad on one white set.

Brief. Give the club a fresh set of portraits for the season: clean enough for rosters and match posters, with enough personality to work on social media.

Approach. One white studio set for the whole day. Individual portraits with the ball in play, pairs and small groups for the fun frames, then the full team with the coaches.

Result. Season portraits, team photos and social media content for the club. 10 photos.

Commercial · Client: FROC × Bibs · Role: Photographer · 2023

FROC × Bibs, set for two – FROC × Bibs

Product photography for a collaboration between FROC high chairs and Bibs baby tableware: the chair dressed with bibs, bottles, plates and cups.

Brief. Show how the two brands work together at the table: the wooden FROC chair and the soft Bibs colours, styled as one calm, believable set.

Approach. Three colour stories (blue, sage and sand) on a quiet grey set. Full views of the chair first, then the tray from above and close details of the silicone, wood and glass.

Close to Home

Commercial / Portrait / Film · Client: Boba · Role: Photographer · 2020–24

An ongoing collaboration with Boba, the baby-carrier brand, shooting their collections on location from Slovenia to Spain: among horses in Štanjel, on the coast in Piran and in the streets of Valencia.

Brief. Show each new collection as part of real, stylish family life rather than as a product on a white background.

Approach. Real parents and babies, warm natural light and a calm set, so the closeness between parent and child carries every image.

AI Studio

Generated images, not photographs. I use AI to build concepts, mood boards and pre-visualisation for pitches, so an agency and its client can see the direction before anyone books a shoot day. The final campaign is then photographed for real.

About

I look for what stays unsaid.

I'm Darko Pavlović, a photographer and filmmaker working across commercial, food, portrait and sport. Over more than a decade I've shot for Fructal, Red Bull, Turizem Ljubljana and Laško, often with agencies such as LUNA\TBWA.

I enjoy projects where the details matter. I prepare well before every shoot, so the day itself stays calm and relaxed, for the client and for the people in front of the camera.

Based in Kamnik, Slovenia. Available for productions across Europe and worldwide.
