“Things have changed, I don’t know which cameras Žiga is using nowadays but one thing stayed the same over the decades from Stieglitz to now:EYE-LENS-OBJECT-LIGHTAnd that’s what it is about – you have to SEE it, that’s the master-job and Žiga is made for it.”
- Peter Brötzmann

For those unfamiliar with Peter Brötzmann, but would still like to get to know him, there are nowadays only two ways: his records and the upcoming photo book of Žiga Koritnik, “Peter Brötzmann In My Focus”.
- David Braun

Music is something that profoundly defines Žiga Koritnik’s work. His photography expresses a deep passion for the performers while being aware of and showing respect to the entire musical scene. Starting in 1986, he has followed music for more than 30 years. Koritnik had more than 66 solo and 40 group photo exhibitions all over the world, worked for several music festivals and taken more than 190 portraits of musicians. He is creating immortal images with both analogue and digital photography equally. That technique allows him to bring the music world closer and beyond the music genres and to tell the story of music to everyone.

The upcoming photo book “Brötzmann, In my focus” started crowdfunding on May 23rd and will last June 24th. The book is dedicated to the pioneer of European free-jazz Peter Brötzmann. Book will present the best moments caught at the concerts and many his portraits taken in the period from 1994 to 2019.
