Daring to Vanish in the Unknown

Goroka, Papua New Guinea, 2015

Dreaming big and bold is easy.

Staying consistent and executing takes real guts. It often requires jumping into the jungle with little knowledge, as I did on a solo photography expedition for a couple of months in Papua New Guinea, aiming to document the lives of tribes. Before boarding my plane in Sofia, all I knew was the location of a single tribe.

Papua New Guinea turned out to be one of the most dangerous places on earth, immensely remote from my homeland. Expecting help was practically impossible.

I got lucky!

After failing to convince my friends to join me, I went alone. I met amazing people from the Huli tribe, who introduced me to the next tribe, and so on. In the end, I built an impressive body of work dedicated to “Vanishing Worlds” – documenting people who live outside our modern world as we know it.
