Tina was born in Bulgaria on the verge of a major political and social change in Eastern Europe. She started taking pictures at age of six, moved to the US at 18 and after dedicating her studies to economics and fulfilling a decade long career in finance between New York and London, devoted herself to her true calling - photography.

Tina primarily focuses on fashion and portraiture and believes true beauty is not only being physically attractive, but equally intelligent, with a sense of erudition, style, mystery, inner strength, emotional depth and sense of being untamable.  

Tina can find inspiration both in the hectic streets of NYC and the contrasting remote places of wild nature, and traditions like her favorite islands in Sicily and Greece, and the tribes in Africa.
