I am a Sofia-based photographer working across documentary and authored photographic series. My projects are shaped by observation, place, and the quiet presence of people within their environments.

I hold a Master's degree in Photography from the National Academy of Art, Sofia.

I am also part of the team behind Phodar Biennial, the international photographic festival held in Sofia, where I have worked both as a co-organizer and as a jury member.
