Bobby Kostadinov
Long story short:
I live to notice and honor beauty in all its forms.
I strive to understand its essence and to share it with others so they can be inspired and transformed by it. As I am.

If there was a modern day renaissance man, an individual who fearlessly moves through styles, media, approaches and projects, Bobby would be it. As both artist and co-creator/producer he is intuitive, engaged, diligent and passionate. Working with Bobby is one of the joys of my own career no matter what hat he is wearing – producer, photographer, videographer—and all round sounding board and wingman of the arts.

Bobby is an exceptionally refined, attentive, and accommodating person, generous and open-hearted, with great sensitivity, thanks to which he truly immerses himself in art. He delves deeply into what he does and perfects it down to the last detail. He exudes an inner Wholeness, which is reflected in his work, creating a comprehensive individual style and approach. I consider this incredibly valuable.
Despite his abundant and highly-developed individual and creative qualities, he always listens to others with respect and understanding, and manages to build a bridge between the views and ideas of different artists, achieving wise and balanced co-creation.
It is a true privilege, pleasure, and honor to work with him!

Working with Bobby is pleasant and easy. He accurately recreated what I envisioned and even enhanced and improved my projects. We've worked together on both video and photos for my website, and I received compliments on the results, thanks to him. I have worked with other photographers, but what sets him apart is his aesthetic sense, which I find contains a touch of romance. I definitely recommend him!

Bobby is an exceptional photographer and person. During our first photoshoot years ago, he helped me see myself in a completely different light, and the world saw me in that same light through his lens. He was professional while also providing inspiration and support that greatly contributed to my development.
Bobby has the rare ability to capture moments and emotions in a unique way. His attention to detail and impeccable sense of aesthetics make each of his works a true delight to the eye. Not only has he mastered the technical side of photography, but he also possesses a creative vision that allows him to create unforgettable and personal portraits.
It is an honor to know him and to work with him. His contribution to my career is invaluable, and he is undoubtedly one of the reasons I have come this far. I am confident that anyone who has the opportunity to work with him will appreciate his professionalism, talent, and kindness.

Biography
Music:
Music was my first love and 20 years ago it was the spark that ignited my desire to create.
Naturally I wanted to share the music I was creating with my first band so I became interested in sound recording and started learning to truly listen. I realized that there's a whole universe of vibrations and nuances we were oblivious to. I poured my passion and attention into refining and balancing all these frequencies so that the music I'm recording can touch people as profoundly as possible – the way its creators envisioned.

I realized that there's a whole universe of vibrations and nuances we were oblivious to. I poured my passion and attention into refining and balancing all these frequencies so that the music I'm recording can touch people as profoundly as possible – the way its creators envisioned.
A lot of musicians around me took notice and began trusting me with the recording process for their own music, others sent me recordings they wanted me to mix or master. Through word-of-mouth and little to no marketing my love for music has connected me with many talented musicians from around the world.
Photography:
Photography came into my life in a single moment of divine inspiration almost 12 years ago. I was in the market for a camera simply to be able to provide musicians with videos of our recording sessions, and I had no intentions of becoming a photographer, but as I was browsing photos I stumbled upon a beautiful portrait of an enchanting woman that left me dazed and speechless. I exclaimed to myself: "I want to be able to create such beauty!"
This burning desire gave me fuel to learn, explore and practice as I was now teaching myself to truly see beyond the superficial. Less than a year later I was blessed with the opportunity to photograph the very woman that inspired me and two years later I was invited to lead my first workshop. Next came the awards, magazine covers and all sorts of external validation, but my most valuable gift and accomplishment has always been the transformation and evolution that art guides me through.
Video:
It was a natural continuation that embraces both audio and visuals so it's no surprise that I've been drawn to video for nearly 10 years. While being predominantly a photographer, I've filmed various types of content and have been gradually increasing my focus on video. This lead to me being invited to produce a studio documentary and more recently a music video, as well as videos for a number of live music sessions.
Book&Cards:
The evolution of an artist both requires and promotes a lot of introspection. All the insights and wisdom I gathered along the way inspired me to create a tool that might help others with their awareness, decision-making and priorities. The result is a deck of cards that goes with a book filled with questions, quotes and affirmations. It's my most recent endeavor as a creator but it has already been incredibly fulfilling to witness people loving my cards and using them for their own journeys.
