About me

My journey into cinema began in the flickering theaters of Sofia, where my father first introduced me to the magic of storytelling through images.
Those dark rooms lit something inside me.

Later, I got my first digital camera. The first 10,000 photographs came slowly—each image a quiet battle against self-doubt and an obsessive need to make every shot count.

Afterward, I was accepted into the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts (NATFA).
Soon after, I began working on various productions, where film sets became my second classroom—places to explore the technical craft of filmmaking firsthand.

A turning point came with Survivor Cambodia—a TV gig, a borrowed film camera, and a revelation: analog photography cracked open a deeper sense of time, emotion, and meaning.
In that distant land, I discovered the pulse that gives photography life.

Since then, I’ve worked across feature films, TV series, commercials, art installations, and independent projects—taking on roles from camera crew to director of photography, creative director, and director.

Years spent as a first assistant camera on large-scale international productions sharpened my technical skills and discipline—essential tools for managing a professional set—while my creative projects taught me how to collaborate across all departments to bring a vision to life.

My directorial debut, Interview in the Womb of the Whale, is a poetic dive into the human subconscious, inspired by Konstantin Pavlov, Carl Jung, and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
It won awards and traveled to over ten international festivals.
The film explores a timeless question that has preoccupied humanity for centuries: the nature of the human psyche and the interconnectedness of all things.

Today, I’m developing new directorial projects, working internationally as a cinematographer, and using photography as a personal form of storytelling.
I believe film is a universal language—and I’m here to keep shaping its grammar in my own dialect, telling stories that matter, crafted with beauty and emotion.
