ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Due to the Covid 19 restrictions during 2020 and 2021 in Ireland we have been in lockdown for 8 months without the option to go anywhere. The worst was the lockdown during the first 5 months of 2021, when nobody knew what is happening. Ireland had the most severe restrictions anywhere in the world. I wanted to show how I and many other felt: locked in a small place without any hope. To take this picture of myself I used the sculpture called 'Triangle' at Lough Boora Discovery Park in County Offaly in Ireland.

AUTHOR
Todor Tilev is Bulgarian Multi-Award Winning Photographer. Todor's pictures have been published worldwide.
I have been taking pictures for many years as a hobby. This changed in 2016 when my camera was stolen from my car. This was the point, where I decided to take Photography more seriously. I like being outside and that’s why I like Landscape and Nature Photography.
In the last few years I started working on many Projects and I like it. This is area, where I will continue working in the future. Some of my most popular Projects are: ‘Bulgarian Churches’, ‘Copper Crafts Master’, ‘The beauty of the waves’, ‘Light and Shadow’ and ‘Wild Atlantic Drive’.
In the last few years I am very interested in ‘Fine Art’ and ‘Conceptual’ types of Photography. They are relatively new and have a huge potential and opportunities to express myself as a Photographer. I am constantly, want to try new things and develop myself as Photographer.
With the time I realized, that Photography became for me much more of going out away from reality. Through Photography I heal my soul and spirit, and use it as ‘catharsis ‘. Photography helped me to overcome many of my fears, connect with the Nature and discover the inner part of me.
For the last few years Todor Tilev has won hundreds of Competitions and Awards at National and International level. His pictures have been featured in post cards, calendars, educational courses, websites, newspapers, TV, magazines and galleries.
