Portrait of photographer Nikolay Petrov
Behind the lens

A decade of quiet observation.

I'm Nikolay Petrov — a photographer based in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a camera that's seen more than 500 events across 12 countries. What I do isn't strictly taking photos. It's listening, watching, and waiting for the second a room changes temperature.

My work leans cinematic and editorial. I'm drawn to the in-between: the glance before the kiss, the hand reaching for another, the laugh that catches a grandmother off guard. These are the frames I chase — not the posed ones, but the ones that remember.

I travel gladly. If you're planning a wedding in the hills of Tuscany, a graduation in Lisbon, or an intimate gathering at home in Sofia — I'd love to hear about it.

Kind words

From the people in the frame.

"Nikolay didn't just photograph our wedding — he translated it. Every frame feels like a memory we didn't know we had. We cried three times going through the gallery."
