Silhouette at golden hour

About

Who's behind the camera — and why he won't shut up about light.

Portrait of Todor Todoroff

My Journey

I'm Todor — most people call me Tedd. Born in 1989, grew up moving around Bulgaria, and fell in love with photography before I could spell it. My father had a collection of cameras and a tiny darkroom at home. Photography was his hobby — and it became mine before I even realized it.

From a Zenith film camera at 14 to a Canon DSLR to a Sony mirrorless and a drone — the tools keep changing, but the obsession is the same. 10,000+ photos across 17+ countries, and I still get excited every time the light does something unexpected.

By day I work in digital marketing. By every other hour, I'm a storyteller with a camera — drawn to black & white, drone perspectives, and the quiet details most people walk past. My latest obsession is LEGO photography — a BECA project called "Light & Shadow" that turned into one of my most rewarding creative experiments. Building miniature worlds with SmallRig LED panels taught me more about light than years of chasing golden hour.

Still learning. Probably always will be.

What I Shoot With

Sony A6600 + Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8

My main setup. Fast autofocus, compact body, and a versatile lens that handles everything from landscapes to street.

DJI Mavic Air 2

For the perspectives you can't reach on foot. Drone photography adds a completely different dimension to storytelling.

SmallRig LED Panels

RM120 RGB, P96 Mini, RF10C Flashlight — my lighting kit for LEGO photography and controlled studio work.

Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop

Where the raw files become final images. Lightroom for tone and color, Photoshop for everything else.

Timeline

~1995
The Darkroom
Watching my father develop film at home. He had a collection of cameras and a tiny darkroom. I didn't understand the chemistry — but I understood the magic.
2003
First Solo Rolls
Age 14. Borrowed my father's Zenith. Shot my first frames on my own — carefully, because film doesn't forgive.
2004
4 Rolls Across Europe
School trip across Europe by bus. Four film rolls for the whole journey. Every frame had to count. They did.
2011
Erasmus in Kraków
Bought a Fujifilm — my first own camera. Started shooting everything. Poland became my favorite place to return to.
2018
The Canon Era
Switched to a Canon DSLR. The jump in quality was unreal. This is when photography stopped being casual and started being serious.
2023
Sony + Drone
Upgraded to Sony A6600 and added a DJI Mavic Air 2. Mirrorless speed, drone perspectives — a whole new way of seeing.
2020–25
17+ Countries
Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Poland, Greece, Turkey — always with a camera. Always chasing light.
2026
Right Now
10,000+ photos. Prints and presets on the way. Still learning. Probably always will be.
