Hi there! My name is Milena Ugrinova, and I'm from Bulgaria. My friends call me Mim, and I am based in Reading, Berkshire, UK.
I love all things visual, from ancient sculptures to modern movies. I am curious and eager to explore the world around me.
My curiosity and inspiration come from everything around me. That's why I sometimes ask odd questions.
Studying photography and working as a graphic designer transformed my vision as a photographer. I used to draw, paint, and create posters without a computer—can you believe it?
Food wasn't my first subject. I tried different photography genres before finding my true passion.
I merged photography with my design work to create unique, meaningful images.
The design vision helps me plan and construct sets as well as determine how each photo could be used in different marketing channels.
After my family moved to the UK, I became a Creative manager at a pizza company. That's when I started to understand the incredible universe of food photography.
Since then, I've been working with different brands and hospitality operators, always excited to explore the art of food through the lens, and in many cases, I implement it within my design work.
