July 20, 2025, Istanbul, Türkiye

I’m a photojournalist from Bulgaria, based in Türkiye, with a nomadic spirit and a passion for storytelling.

Telling human stories across borders, through image and insight.

Born on March 10 in Sofia, Bulgaria, I grew up as a curious child, always eager to learn, know, and see more.

At the age of 10, my family and I moved to Antwerp, Belgium, where I encountered diversity for the first time, further fueling my interest in other cultures. In high school, I developed a strong interest in geopolitics, and shaped by my own experience with migration, I couldn’t ignore the stories of others. Studying journalism in college deepened my understanding of the world, as my passion for storytelling took form through photography and documentary filmmaking.

After college, at 22, I followed my heart and moved to Türkiye. For eight months, I volunteered as an English teacher in a kindergarten in Şanlıurfa, a predominantly Kurdish region bordering Syria. There, I continued capturing the emotions, struggles, and resilience of people.

As a photojournalist with a nomadic spirit, I dedicate myself to documenting untold stories and amplifying voices that often go unheard.

More about me

  • I love tradition

    Being half Bulgarian half Turkish, I grew up with both cultures and traditions, setting the foundation of my curiosity for other cultures. But also my tolerance and love for other cultures and religions.

  • I love traveling

    I love to travel and explore different cultures, meet new people and learn about the history of everything that came before us. My heart however, is forever in Istanbul and Sofia.

  • I love learning languages

    I’ve always had a passion for languages. From self-study to evening courses, over the years I’ve been regularly learning languages and today I speak Bulgarian, English, Dutch, French, Spanish, Turkish and some German and Japanese. But I am not finished.

  • I can work from anywhere

    I am always on the road, whether I’m traveling to another country or just getting involved in my own neighborhood. One thing I always have on me is my camera.
