Tina Boyadjieva was born in Bulgaria on the verge of a major political and social change in Eastern Europe. She started taking pictures at age six with a film camera and never stopped. Taking photos was what kept Tina grounded throughout her business/economics studies and later on her decade-long finance career in New York City until she made the commitment to dedicate her time and energy to her calling - photography.
