Roads and Ways
“Most of them ended abruptly on the top of some hill in the middle of nowhere. I tried to take the next road, but each time the result was the same.

Since his early childhood Dancho Atanasov has been interested in art and music and has tried out many things - from music to painting and fine arts. He gets to know photography through his uncle - skydiving as a teenager. His uncle, himself an enthusiastic parachutist and photographer, lends him his photographic equipment and teaches him the fundamentals.
The artist left his time as a combat pilot and air traffic controller behind and now works as a conceptual, fine art, landscape, travel and architectural photographer. His works have received many awards and are frequently exhibited.
