ABOUT ME
Born in 1979 in the small bulgarian town of Svishtov located on Danube river. I'm interested in photography since my teens, but started shooting the streets in 2011.
“For me photography is passion, enjoyment, an escape from the ordinary, way of documenting life and expressing myself. My main reason to shoot is to take better pictures, exploring the streets for something hidden and to catch a glimpse of what life was like for the next generations.”
Co-founder of Street Photo Lab
