About

Vacev Studio is a creative team crafting bold, editorial visuals for brands, artists, and individuals. Based in the Balkans, our work spans portraits, commercial campaigns, music videos, and fashion editorials.

Every project gets its own identity. We focus on light, composition, and storytelling — whether capturing a single portrait or producing a full video campaign.

Meet the Team

The people behind Vacev Studio — photographers, filmmakers, and the one who keeps the chaos organized.

Gjorgi Vacev

Founder • Creative Director, Lead Photographer & Videographer

The one you'll usually spot with a camera in one hand and another camera in the other. That's Gjorgi. As the founder of Vacev Studio, he believes every project deserves its own identity. Whether it's a commercial, music video, or portrait session, his goal is simple: create visuals people will be proud to look back on.

  • Fuel: Coffee with lots of milk
  • Favorite Projects: Music Videos & Commercials
  • Favorite Lens: Helios 58mm f2
  • Dream Shoot: The Gypsy Neighborhood
  • Playlist: Funk, Soul & Jazz

Ivan Pop-Dimitrov

Photographer • Detail Hunter

Ivan is the kind of photographer who notices the little things everyone else misses. Calm, patient, and always chasing that one extra shot, he's the reason you'll often hear, "One more... this is the one." And surprisingly, it usually is.

  • Fuel: Poison-strength coffee 💀
  • Favorite Projects: Studio Portraits
  • Favorite Lens: Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM
  • Dream Shoot: At Muso's Place
  • Playlist: Funk, Rock & Electronic Music (Despite Gjorgi insisting electronic music doesn't count. 😉)

Boris Kjaev

Videographer • Motion Creator

Boris rarely sees a scene the way everyone else does. While others are watching what's happening, he's already thinking about the next angle, the next movement, and how it will all come together in the final edit. Creativity follows him wherever the camera goes.

  • Fuel: Same as Gjorgi's (They were born on the same day, after all.)
  • Favorite Projects: Same as Gjorgi's (Born on the same day, what did you expect? 😉)
  • Favorite Lens: Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM
  • Dream Shoot: Grandma's House
  • Playlist: Rock, Pop & Turbo-Folk (Secretly. 😉)

Jani Patche

Photographer • Moment Catcher

Jani believes the best photos happen when people stop thinking about the camera. His relaxed approach helps everyone feel comfortable, turning genuine moments into photographs that feel natural, timeless, and full of personality.

  • Fuel: Coffee with Character
  • Favorite Projects: Amazon Projects
  • Favorite Lens: Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM
  • Dream Shoot: On Bairot
  • Playlist: Rock, Alternative, Pop & Jazz

Katarina Vacev

Project Manager • Chaos Coordinator

Every creative team needs someone to keep the chaos organized. That's exactly what Katarina does. Schedules, deadlines, client communication, planning... somehow, it all stays under control. (And yes, she occasionally reminds the rest of us what day it is.)

  • Fuel: Coffee & Patience
  • Favorite Projects: The Ones Where Gjorgi Actually Follows the Schedule
  • Favorite Tool: Google Calendar
  • Dream Project: One That Finishes on Time
  • Playlist: Pop, Indie & Whatever the Team Is Listening To
