Miroslav Chobanov’s photography is rooted in a personal approach—one that seeks to envision, understand, and reveal the powerful yet vulnerable essence of each subject.
Bulgarian-born and Germany-based, he merges the intensity of his Eastern roots with the brilliance of the cities and cultures that have shaped his vision. His portraits possess an arresting intimacy and strength, revealing and amplifying the most powerful qualities of those he photographs. Through explorations of contemporary identity, sexuality, and style.
He photographs people as a form of expression rather than documentation, shaped by shadow, emotion, and a high-fashion sensibility that leans into the darker edges of beauty. Each image is constructed with intention — from light and texture to pose and silence — allowing the subject to exist somewhere between reality and art.
His approach is intuitive and collaborative, creating portraits that feel cinematic, intimate, and unapologetically bold.
