entry description
This is a Bulgarian family trying to live the way its ancestors lived a hundred years ago. On the top of a mountain, without the riches of modern life. The greatest treasure they possess are the animals. They are their joy, their source of food, their life. As winters get colder, the years pass by. The chill of January brings the joy of new life. But will this family survive yet another winter? And if not, what will happen to the herd? The cemetery is located on the opposite hill. What will be left of this generation? A generation which relies mostly on labour. Working their way through life, regardless of vanity, envy and gossip. An honest way of life in spite of all its misfortunes and hardship.about the photographer
Why i started doing photography? Mostly because it is difficult and because i see a challenge. Nowadays everyone is a photographer. Everyone shoots with phones, cameras, tablets. Something mush more is required to stand out from the ocean of photos that floods us. You have to apply thought and skills, you have to be persistent and patient. I like such difficulties. They give meaning to our lives, because only the truly difficult thing we have overcome will someday bring us real joy and satisfaction. In my career as an actor, i have struggled for 20 years and continue to do it. But after meeting with the best directors, after performing in the biggest theaters and filming in the biggest productions, somehow it became easier for me. In photography, i start from scratch. In fact, i have always been shooting for as long as i can remember. I have always bought cameras, but the acting was a priority. In the last two years i walked into the ocean of photography, began to study and search. I drew up a path to follow, and i very much hope that it is interesting and exciting. That it will meet me with new people, and i will visit unknown places. I want to tour the other unconquered part of the world, this time with a camera. I will try to accommodate another serious occupation in my life.back to gallery
