13 portraits in less than 10 minutes
I was invited and participated in a photography plain-air in Edirne, Turkey. I was there for four days with friends-photographers from Yambol, Bulgaria… We were talking in the hotel corridor while I decided to make everyone of them a portait – a real portrait blitz-shoot. I used a door and the wall for a backdrop [...]
Shooting with Diana
This was a short shooting (approx. 2 hours including all preparations) with the beauty model Diana Stateva (Bulgaria). The shooting was done in an old stone quarry. I used 2 strobes to achieve this type of lighting. Camera and lens by Nikon. Flares were added intentionally while shooting, Photoshop used only for skin retouching. NEF [...]
Kukerlandia 2013 masquerade festival
About the Kukerlandia fest and the Bulgarian “kukeri” custom. Kukeri is a traditional Bulgarian winter ritual. Masked people are called “kukeri”. Kukeri go from home to home to scare away evil. They do this usually in the night. After going around all houses of the village, they dance together in the center of the village [...]
Capture One Pro 7 mini-review – does it worth to upgrade
Capture One Pro 7 by Phase One has been recently issued. I am testing the trial version for two days now and I found some very nice improvements. In the beginning I want to declare that I won’t make here a complete review of Capture One Pro 7, nor have I tested it so deeply [...]

Dimana – fashion shoot in town
Well, I know I am late with this post, many of you have already seen these pictures on my Facebook or Flickr accounts, but better late than never. I am now posting here some of the best photos from the in-town fashion shooting with the young model Dimana kafedzhieva. Camera was a Nikon D3x, lens [...]

Black and White nature photos
Today I found somewhere deep in my computer some rather old photos I took back in 2007 in Sinite Kamani national park near Sliven city in Bulgaria. I decided these photos will look nice in Black and White with increased contrast, so here they are. The camera was a Canon 1Ds (1-st edition) which produces [...]

Free wallpapers 1920×1200 HD
Today I found in my computer an old (in fact not so old) folder with photo wallpaper backgrounds I’ve made when I’ve got my first Mac computer – a 17″ MacBookPro with screen resolution of 1920×1200. I’ve been using these wallpapers lately when I got a 21.5″ iMac, which was 1920×1080. So, I decided to [...]
Some fashion and glamour portraits with Dimana
Well, these are some of the best photos from a 3-hours shooting with the young model Dimana Kafedzhieva. This is her first shooting, and she did quite well, considering her 15 years and lack of experience in front of the camera. She did her hair and make-up, I did the lighting, took and retouched the [...]
Color issue: Leaf Capture vs. Capture One Pro
I am testing some RAW files from Leaf digital backs and especially the Aptus-22 since I plan to purchase a medium format system – better detail, better dynamic range and true 16-bit color. It is not easy to find RAW files from MF digital backs on the Internet. Fortunately, there are some on the Leaf [...]
