Name's Vassil.
Bulgarian-born, currently based in the Netherlands — event photographer and videographer, running on thrive and a shit-ton of coffee. I'm the idiot who'll constantly run around in the crowd, dance, and vibe with them — so that the actual vibe gets captured.
The one thing I actually care about is: making sure you look at your photos and say, "That's exactly how it felt."
I actually started in cybersecurity — clocked in, tapped away at a keyboard thinking I was doing the "smart" thing. You know… good salary, good future, and all that kind of shit. Then out of nowhere, a friend asked if I could take some prom photos. I had a camera. I liked shooting stuff for fun. So I said yes. That day turned my life upside down. Watching the mom of the graduate tear up at the end of the event — that feeling hit different. And suddenly I was thinking:
"Wait, what if this could be my actual job, instead of telling people to change their fucking password?"
So I quit. No backup plan. Just the gut feeling that I'd rather mess it all up doing something I care about than stay safe doing something I hate. You know… the usual story. Now I'm doing my dream job.
I'm a social person. That means I'll always vibe with the crowd — which I personally believe is the most important thing when it comes to capturing proper marketing materials.
I also make sure to take great care of my clients, so touch-ups and re-edits? Not a problem. Since I don't like talking too much about myself, here are some reviews I've gotten from my clients:
