Music, bright colours, passion , cheerful people dressed in lavish costumes , longing to share their happiness with locals and tourists , enjoying life and spreading joy and love - that's what the Caribbean carnival looks like.

Balinese sacred dance is usually performed in some ritual ceremonies because it has strong magical powers and only can be performed by specific dancers. I captured the moment just before the dance when this beautiful young girl was preparing herself for the performance getting into a special spiritual state of mind

My daughter is my greatest inspiration . Each photoshoot with her provokes me more and more to explore kids emotions and to try to understand them . In her eyes i can see the pure love and understand that only those sparkles in her eyes are enough to brighten my day

My daughter is my biggest inspiration and my muse. Taking portraits of her is always very special not only from a photographer’s perspective but as a personal emotion - having captured the moment and keeping this sacred memory is priceless.

Caribbean women got my attention not only with their beauty .They are confident, alluring ,passionate about anything they are doing.

Annual Caribbean carnival is the biggest and long awaited event on the islands. Cheerful people dressed in lavish colorful costumes, walking and dancing in the streets to the beat of the local music ,happy to share their emotions with locals and tourists.

Music is a beautiful form of expression, a powerful form of storytelling .It touches each one of us differently because of our emotional state and experiences but it always appeals not only to the heart but also to the soul .

The real personality and confidence of a person could be seen once you put them in a different situation and provoke them. It is the pleasure of the portrait photographer to make his subject reveal its different sides and show different faces.

This photograph is a part of my photography exhibition organised for EXPO 2020 Dubai. The concept of the exhibition is to present successful and established Bulgarians in various professions in UAE . This young and cheerful girl working for a renown airlines represents the true spirit of the free and aspiring young people.

Kenya amazed with all its colors, mystery, dynamic , its simple and friendly people enjoying their ordinary life and being thankful for every sunrise and sunset they can experience.

Children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
As a portrait photographer i know the great importance of the message that the portrait carries and i think that in the child's expression with all the innocence and sincerity the message reaches the viewer without appeal

Kenya has always been the iconic home of the safari, immortalised by legendary writers such as Ernest Hemingway . As he said after his journey in Kenya:”I could not convince myself that we had come to such a wonderful country, a country from which we had to come out of a dream, happy to have dreamed.” That’s exactly the way i left after my magical trip to Kenya. I was so close to wildlife that i could almost reach out and touch them. What a great satisfaction that came with photographing giraffe who represents the pure elegance and simplicity in the Savannah!
