New York, NY, United States
I am a Bulgaria-born, Chicago-bred, Brooklyn-based freelance photojournalist and writer. The spark that wakes me is my passion for pictures, words, music, the economic and political state of the world, and genuine, interesting, kind people. My ultimate motivation is creating visuals that combine unique aesthetics with a strong narrative - style with meaning - whether in a historic or a seemingly mundane moment.
My camera defines my geography, from the minutiae of life across the States, to that in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. My current and past clients include The New York Times, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, National Geographic, Bloomberg, Getty Images, AFP, Rolling Stone, Nature mag, Discover mag, New York mag, Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, TIME, USA Today, and the Chicago Tribune - with a background in writing, reportage, and multimedia garnishing the content of my photo stories. I've received grants to further my projects from the Pulitzer Center, the International Women's Media Foundation, Getty Images/Panasonic Lumix, and have exhibited in Bulgaria's National Gallery of Art.

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford) arrives to Federal Court with her lawyer Michael Avenatti (not seen) at the United States District Court Southern District of New York after a hearing related to Michael Cohen, President Trump's longtime personal attorney and confidante, April 16, 2018 in New York City. Cohen and lawyers representing President Trump are asking the court to block Justice Department officials from reading documents and materials related to his Cohen's relationship with President Trump that they believe should be protected by attorney-client privilege. Officials with the FBI, armed with a search warrant, raided Cohen's office and two private residences last week.
