"There are so many things we can’t live without in our lives. Crucial things that need to be taken care of for our survival. 

But we can never truly live without art. Fashion is one of the biggest art industries there is.

Fashion for 101 Production has been in the centre of every work that we do. What fashion does for a film, for a location, for a character is beyond what people can imagine. 

That is the beauty of it. 

It sometimes carries humour, sometimes carries peace. Sometimes it's love that is a feeling in a suit; sometimes it’s hate in the shape of a dress. Every feeling of what makes us human is within fashion.

This time, we wanted to represent what fashion photography can do to tell a story or to simply admire what is in front of us and enjoy the view."

Goran Tačevski is an international advertising photographer, originally from Macedonia, who has worked mainly in Paris and Prague during his lifetime. He is traditionally ranked among the 200 best advertising photographers worldwide by the prestigious Lürzer’s Archive. He has received dozens of international awards in the field of advertising photography such as Cannes Lions, Golden Drum, Epica, Eurobest etc.

The latest international success was the Miss America 2.0 campaign, which referred to the exclusion of the swimsuit promenade from this prestigious competition and influenced the perception of female beauty.

In Prague, Tačevski also has a fully equipped photography studio, including in-house post-production and a CGI specialist.

Yuriy's photographs are a mixture of elegance, burst of motion, atmospheric lights and precisely constructed compositions, where every element has its own place.

Although Yuriy has already developed his recognisable style, his high technical knowledge, art director's thinking and curiosity to experiment make him a visual polyglot, which allows him to move flexibly between the photographic genres: sports, fashion, portraiture and travel.

He is always well-prepared to meet his clients' needs. The combination of the German accuracy and the Eastern European spontaneity makes working with Yuriy fun, creative and reliable. Nevertheless Yuriy is well connected with the production companies from Kiev, which can be helpful to find the most efficient solutions for the client's budget and needs.

As a passionate sports and martial arts practitioner for many years, Yuriy has worked as a model in the past. This all together gives him a much better understanding on how to direct his models and athletes to get the best results. 

Clients inlclude: Gymshark, Afterpay, and Airbnb.

Combining his four passions -photography, sea, architecture and food- Kerem and his team are ready to produce and create stunning images, whether in collaboration or on his own accord, locally or internationally.

His warm personality, excellent observation skills, artistic eye and affinity for light and shadow characterise him.

"Everything related with product photography - that's what we enjoy doing. Our near-Prague-based studio can provide you with advertising photography, social media content, still life, lifestyle and technical product photography. In eight years of existence we moved from strictly photo and post-production service to a fully developed production company.

Our studio and neighbouring apartment provide enough space and comfort for shoots even for large teams. Due to the current situation we also offer the option of online real-time distant art directing.

Our client list includes national and international giants like Logitech, Sencor, Sodastream, Bohemian Garnet and Milos Systems."

"My name is Marek Bartoš, I live in Prague and I am a photographer. I love food and photography, so I have brought these two things together. This way, I have both my passions right at my fingertips every day. 

I work for private clients, magazines, restaurants and book publishers. I feel at home in the field, in the garden or in the kitchen. I love working with light and I believe that nothing can beat natural sunlight.

I always try to keep developing my skills and experience. I’ve been very lucky to cooperate with many Czech and international companies and amazing personalities."

Anna Rapcińska is a commercial photographer specialising in beauty and portrait photography. She is currently based in Gdańsk, but available worldwide.

Her vivid, colourful pictures reflect her fascination with colours. She also strives for drama, either through light and shadow play or strong posing that empowers her subjects.

Strong, piercing gaze is what she longs for when working with people. Anna is not afraid of working with subjects of different shapes and skin colours and she is always open for experimentation, willing to take that one step further.

2020 is an editorial year for Anna as she dives deeper into her creativity by telling stories through her photography. Shooting with story in mind is the best way to develop both artistic competence as well as craftsmanship. 

Currently she is looking for new ways to move her business to the next level of commercial photography.
