Svetlin Yosifov travel photographer from Bulgaria. I define myself as a travel-documentary-art photographer. Almost 22 years now photography has been part of my life. I love travelling and do this once a year for a period of two months.I live to travel. There are so many places in the world I want to visit that I probably won\'t have enough time. I always associate these trips with diving in the unknown, meeting new people and experiencing something new. My adventurous spirit is my main drive, the inner flame, that keeps me going!My passion is catching street portraits and trying to figure out my object\'s character.Portrait photography is the most compelling genre for me. The impact of a single photo, comes from the emotion it reflects.When I look at my photos, I do not see personal deprivations and vicissitudes, but a living image of my nameless heroes, who inspire the soul of the images and carry the symbol of life and forgotten traditions! My Point of interest - traditions in primal and natural places like South Sudan,India, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba and more. I consider good photography to be much more that a snapshot or a memory, it is something that tells a story, strong enough to influence the world we live in and raise more awareness.Throughout the years my interviews and photographs have been published in many magazines and websites.Multiple winner and finalist in some of the strongest photography competitions in the world such as, Sharjah UAE Xposure International Photography Festival, Oneeyeland, DODHO Magazine, 35AWARDS, MonoVisions, Siena Awards, Whalebone, HUAWEI Next-Image, Monochrome Awards, Light World, Inoventa awards, FotoNostrum, Moscow IFA, MobilePA, APA, Chelsea IP, Tokyo IFA, MONOCHROMERIFIC, ColorPro Awards, IMACRES Awards and others.
