"To me photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second of the significance of an event.” Henri Cartier-Bresson
My name is Nikolay Nikolov, I was born about 22 years ago, and for nearly five years I have been thinking in pictures. The most serious and keen interest I have is for the reportage method of photo-taking, and in particular, for reportage photography and photojournalism. I believe that this is where the truly valuable imagery is born and where the real power of the photographic medium can be deployed most fully.
Usually I don’t resort to staged images unless my project specifically requires it. In the past 2 years, I have worked as a photographer for several online publications. My images have participated in exhibitions of PhotoForum.net and BG Pressphoto 2011. I won the 3rd prize at BG Pressphoto2012 competition in category "young photojournalists". I have studied Visual Arts at the New Bulgarian University and taken a photography course at the Faculty of Journalism at Sofia University. I am currently a freelance photographer. I am a member of the Union of Bulgarian Journalists “Podkrepa”.
I am open to all sorts of collaborations . Do not hesitate to contact me.
