Fashion photoshoot in a winter forest in Borovets

In Sofia that day there was no snow left — it was +8 °C outside. On the way to Borovets, winter didn’t seem to be anywhere in sight either. Only the peaks of the Rila Mountains ahead were white with snow, giving hope that the winter photoshoot in the forest would actually look like winter.

This season turned out to be low on snow, but Borovets did not disappoint. The road to the Black Rock viewpoint was almost completely covered in snow — instead of asphalt, there was an icy track. It was impossible for two cars to pass each other, and several times we had to reverse a few hundred meters to let a car coming down from above go through. Getting to the top is only possible with a powerful SUV — my Stonic managed to make it only halfway.

As a result, our fashion photoshoot took place right by the snow-covered road in the winter forest of Borovets. The location delivered the atmosphere: snowy fir trees, crisp air and natural light — everything needed for a winter photoshoot in nature in the Rila Mountains.

It’s impossible not to acknowledge the model’s bravery — she radiated energy and positivity despite the мороз. Fortunately, it wasn’t too cold. At least not for me 😊
