Hi, my name is Mihail Minkov, and I live in Sofia, Bulgaria, with my wife and our two small children. With so many people across the world unable to spend time outside, I thought 2020 would be the perfect time to share my latest photography project.
Since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by the stars and the night sky. I have dedicated my time to capturing and revealing the secrets of the night sky and the Milky Way, in particular. I have spent countless hours during the night alone, but not lonely under the night sky from February until late October, 2020.
Staying under the stars, the calmness and the solitude that the night gives makes me feel humble and tranquilized. So many people have never seen the Milky Way with their own eyes, which is a pity because standing under the Milky Way arc on a warm summer night is an experience that you will never forget. Thanks to my light-sensitive camera, we can see a level of detail in the night sky that we can’t see with our naked eyes. In addition to what the night sky offers us, I love to add a personal story in the foreground and combine them in one image.
