my name is Deyan Christakiev and I am a lifestyle photographer in Paris. Passionate about candid shootings in natural situations.
I've studied artistic and visual history of the magic city and now I would like to share with you the secrets I discovered.
I love natural photos with vintage film look. Being a passionate photographer for more than 10 years I will use all my experience to make you feel comfortable and to provide you with some great memories.

"It was my first time to have photos taken by a professional and I could not have asked for more! Deyan gave me an instruction at the beginning, regarding how I could move in front of camera to look natural. We walked around a beautiful neighbourhood called Montmartre and took photos along the way. He always did his best to get great angles and backgrounds. Also between shoots he shared interesting stories about the area, which I really appreciated. Overall it was one of the best experiences"
