TITLE: Floating Torii

Early morning on the shores of lake Biwa. This is the famous red-orange torii in Ryōbu-style, at Shirahige-jinja shrine. Torii is a symbolic gate to a shinto shrine and the boundary between the sacred and ordinary space. A clean shot with a minimalist touch and a fifty-fifty composition to create a strong focus on the point of interest.

AUTHOR: Yancho Sabev BELGIUM

I graduated with a degree in Philosophy and Radio Journalism from Sofia University in Bulgaria and subsequently moved to Belgium. In the field of photography I am working as a freelancer, mainly on personal projects.

Feeding my insatiable curiosity and frenetic search for knowledge with travelling all over the world documenting and discovering the cultural variations of the human being life, habits and traditions. I use the photo camera to transfer and visualize many emotions and thoughts which develop in my mind, the excitement caused by encountered reality.

In my work I seek a strictly personal narrative, trying to understand the inner world of the people I meet, the impressive content of the external reality and all deep philosophical questions that I am intensively pursuing. In recognition of my work I have won numerous awards at international level. 

When I am not behind the camera, you can find me having good time with my wife and two children.  < BACK TO GALLERY
