An explorer, a dreamer, in love with sea and sunsets, I currently live in my hometown – Varna in Bulgaria, but I'm on the road all the time! 21+ countries (in two of which I spent a total of 5 years), 100+ flights, I just can't get enough of the world. I must admit that I just love photography - I have even been trying to combine travelling and chasing the perfect shot in the past year. Moreover, I have plans for adventures in 2026 and 2027 when I'll try to catch the two total solar eclipses! I absolutely enjoy watching moonrises and even though planning and photographing them is almost insane, it's something I can't get enough of. Well, my famous Moon phases shot took me "only" 7 months and so much planning, but it was absolutely worth it 😊
In 2022 I became the first Bulgarian woman to be selected in the Greenwich Astronomy Photographer of the Year shortlist. In 2024 I was part of the selection Milky Way Photographer of the Year by Capture the Atlas. My work has been featured by major media as National Geographic, Forbes, The Guardian, PetaPixel, etc.
I am a content creator and have worked with multiple brands and hotel chains. I create visually engaging content that people love!
