Diana Mladenova: Photography is my dose of serotonin

Things happen easily when one does something with love. The works of photographer Diana Mladenova are a proof of that. Her photos have thousands of likes in in Facebook and numerous comments. Many of her fans do not believe that she shoots using a phone, but this is true. Here is what Diana has told BNR:







"I have always said that I have two lives. The first is my work, including the tension and the stress, but the second is the world of dreamers and seekers. This is the world of photography, my travels, the sunrises and sunsets that I adore and the contact with nature. I have loved painting since I was a child and I have been working harder with photography for two years. Now I create pictures using a camera, not a brush. I can't just say that photography is love, hobby, and pleasure for me… It is something even stronger than this. Photography is my dose of serotonin and I am very happy when I'm shooting with my camera."







Diana describes the process of her work as “a volcano of emotions that overflow like molten lava and then photos begin to emerge. A process takes place between nature, me and the device. It is characteristic of the photos that they always bring some emotion to the viewer.”







Diana Mladenova does not claim to be a professional photographer:

"At this stage I take photos with my phone, but I do it with all my heart and soul. And when something comes from the heart, then it happens. People are constantly writing to me and thanking me. What could be better than having the support of the viewer? My wish to people is:

"Don't waste your time and dreams.

Follow your heart in order to be happy.

Life is wonderful, but it's just a moment!"
