I got my first camera in 2020, and I haven’t stopped taking photos since. I fell in love with the concept of capturing unique moments that might never recur or be repeated. When I learned the basics and got comfortable using my camera, I then started to dive into the more creative elements of photography - the use of light and shadow, colour and composition. I’ve been continuously learning, exploring and developing as a photographer since.

When I decided that I wanted to become a full-time photographer, I had a huge task to tackle. What was I going to photograph? I wanted to be involved in something with a lot of inherent meaning, and that’s how I decided to start photographing weddings. At the end of the day, what could be more meaningful than photographing what most people describe as their biggest life event and often the happiest day of their lives?

The biggest impact on my style and my photography in general comes from my mentor and now friend (for a small fee) - Olly Knight. I fell in love with his work, and I knew I also wanted to be a documentary photographer, capturing real moments and real emotions instead of making people uncomfortable by treating them as models and directing their every move.

Outside of photography (which is probably 80% of my life with weddings as a full-time job, and street and wildlife photography as hobbies) the one thing I love is spending time with my family - Charley, Sophia, and the newest member of the clan - Noah. I truly enjoy spending time with my family in Bulgaria, too. I only see them a couple of times a year, so our time together is truly precious.
