Hello and welcome to my website!
1974
My name is Darina. I was born in Bulgaria.
Photography has always been my passion, something meaningful and special. One of my first memories was my parents and myself walking in a park, I was around 1-year-old. My mum was taking photos of us and I wanted to take the camera. I was angry and upset because my mum didn't want to give it to me. I cried a lot and I still remember how much I wanted this camera.
2005
Three decades later, I started my professional education.
I graduated from Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College where I studied photography. Those years spent within academia showed me that to be a good photographer I needed to develop my skills every single day. Photography has become for me an ongoing learning process that enables me to grow personally and professionally, and to also make the world a better place.
2016 - NOW
How to make the world a better place?
It's simple - by motivating people to love themselves. Photography is about love. Photography is about showing people the external and internal beauty that they all have but they cannot always see. Since 2016, I have been working with families, pregnant women and new-borns, taking their photographs and also capturing special moments at weddings, and christening ceremonies. I also work with people that want to create professional websites for their businesses. I am open to every project and new ideas, no matter how challenging these might be.
I even act as a Psychologist by helping the clients to relax in order to express their true self and inner emotions. In this way, they can see themselves differently. Every photoshoot creates a new world of positive emotions and happiness, and this is what makes this profession incredible. I cannot see myself doing anything else.
I look forward to creating a new world with you soon.
With love,
Dari ♥
