TITLE: The Beauty of the Waves

I have found a beauty in the seas & oceans waves. Each wave is very unique and never the same. Most beautiful waves happen during storms conditions. Usually during storms the wind is very strong with a lot of rain. This makes the conditions for taking pictures very tough, but on other side the memories are unforgettable. All pictures are taken at Ireland’s coast and especially, so called ‘Wild Atlantic Drive’. At 2,500km in length ‘Wild Atlantic Drive’ is the longest and most dramatic journey in the world.

I have been taking pictures for many years as a hobby. This changed in 2016 when my camera was stolen from my car. This was the point, where I decided to take Photography more seriously. I like being outside and that’s why I like Landscape and Nature Photography.
Through my pictures I want to show the beauty of the Nature. For me is very important, the scenes to be realistic and not be overdone in post process. For many years I used to take pictures only of Landscapes and avoided any other types of Photography. With the years I started taking pictures of anything I like. I realized, that there is no point to restrict myself just in one type of Photography.. As a person who the whole life has been involved in Sports, I started using ‘Periodisation’ for my Photography. In other words, I started taking pictures according to the season. This really moved my Photography to completely different level.
In the last few years I started working on many Projects and I like it. This is area, where I will continue working in the future. Some of my most popular Projects are: ‘Bulgarian Churches’, ‘Copper Crafts Master’, ‘The beauty of the waves’, ‘Lost’ ‘Light and Shadow’, ‘In the world of Ladybirds’ and ‘Wild Atlantic Drive’.
In the last few years I am very interested in ‘Fine Art’ and ‘Conceptual’ types of Photography. They are relatively new and have a huge potential and opportunities to express myself as a Photographer. I am constantly, want to try new things and develop myself as Photographer.
With the time I realized, that Photography became for me much more of going out away from reality. Through Photography I heal my soul and spirit, and use it as ‘catharsis ‘. Photography helped me to overcome many of my fears, connect with the Nature and discover the inner part of me. < BACK TO GALLERY
