About the winner:

Bulgarian born, I moved to Australia almost 20 years ago and made Sydney my home. ​I brought with me a Masters Degree in Philology and Masters Degree in Science of Dramatic Art at the National Academy of Theatre and Film Art in Sofia. I had also worked as a journalist with the national newspaper 24 Hours and as a news editor with the Channel COMM radio stations network.​ In Australia my job adventures were with Macquarie Bank, Southern Star Entertainment (lots of fun!), legal companies, architects and designers.​ However, throughout this period, I always remained true to my first love – storytelling. Whether it was in the form of the written word, stage performance or visual narrating, I have accumulated a lifetime of knowledge about world culture and art and now, through photography, I have found a way of expressing my stories visually. The art of photography is more than just documenting the obvious. I see it as a way of conveying feelings, as a way of taking my audience to different places of emotions. ​I live in Sydney with my husband Daniel and our two little daughters Apollonia and Amadea.
