Žiga Pirnat – umetniški portret skladatelja
Ta serija portretov prikazuje slovenskega skladatelja in dirigenta Žigo Pirnata. Fotograf Matej Kolakovič je ustvaril dvoplastno portretno serijo: dramatične studijske portrete z dirigentsko palico na temnem ozadju ter kontekstualne fotografije v snemalnem studiu z glasbenimi instrumenti in opremo.
Studijski del serije je posnet z intenzivnim tmnim ozadjem in dramatično usmerjeno svetlobo, ki poudari ekspresivnost in dinamičnost dirigiranja. Geste z palico so zamrznjene v kadru – ustvarjajo vtis gibanja in muzikalne strasti. Ta pristop je tipičen za umetniške portrete izvajalcev, ki želijo izraziti svojo identiteto skozi vizualni jezik glasbe.
Kontekstualni del serije prikazuje skladatelja pri delu – z notami in ob klaviaturah ter računalniku s programom za kompozicijo. Te fotografije so manj dramatične, bolj naravne in autentične, kar jih naredi primernih za promo materiale, spletne strani in medijska besedila. Vrsta fotografije: studijsko portretno fotografiranje (umetniški portreti glasbenikov).

Žiga Pirnat – Artistic Portrait of a Composer
This portrait series features Slovenian composer and conductor Žiga Pirnat. Photographer Matej Kolakovič created a two-layered portrait series: dramatic studio portraits with a conducting baton against a dark background, and contextual photographs in a recording studio with musical instruments and equipment.
The studio portion of the series was shot with an intense dark background and dramatic directional lighting, emphasizing the expressiveness and dynamism of conducting. The poses with the baton freeze gestures in the frame, creating an impression of movement and musical passion. This approach is typical for artistic portraits of performers who wish to express their identity through the visual language of music.
The contextual portion of the series shows the composer at work — with sheet music and beside keyboards and composition software on screen. These photographs are less dramatic but more natural and authentic, making them ideal for promotional materials, websites, and media content. Photography type: studio portrait photography (artistic musician portraits).
