How did I turn to photography on water? Family feature ... This is the profession of my father, he is one of the first underwater photographers in Bulgaria. The most difficult in this profession is the balance between diving skills and photographic vision. And to get the perfect picture, you need a few simple but important things: an interesting subject, a lot of chances, photographic flair and good technique.
The idea of man appearing in underwater photography is very old, and of course, not mine. But still the first one in Bulgaria in the distant 1996 I began to photograph models under water in the pool. The human body placed in this unnatural environment seems like weightless. His movements are very interesting and fascinating.
