I am Peter Vulchev, a director, screenwriter producer and photographer, based in Sofia, Bulgaria.
My journey with visual arts started ever since I could hold a camera. My natural curiosity to study and observe the humans and their emotional world led me to discover my biggest passion — to capture the most intimate moments of people locked in their hidden nets. Growing up in small Bulgarian town with local people who worship orthodox traditions and mythology has shaped my artistic perspective of the world. Therefore, magical realism is the foundation around which I build my work.
To me art is like a sincere mirror to reflect oneself.
