Hi

My name is Sava and I'm a 19 year old amateur photographer based in Belmont, California. I first became interested in photography as a way to confirm difficult bird species identifications, and birds continue to provide the inspiration for my work.

A huge shout out goes to my good friend Paul Burke, who has accompanied me on many adventures and has a photography website of his own which provided significant amounts of inspiration and code to assist with the creation of this website. You can, and should, check out his website at paulburkephotography.com.

Depending on the dimensions of the device you are using, the photo gallery might not load properly, so my apologies if that is the case––this website is a work in progress. I can be reached at sava.iliev@gmail.com. I hope you enjoy the photos!
