Help Radoslav get the macro gear of his dreams

My friend Radoslav, entomologist, internationally acclaimed wildlife macro photographer and Shutterbug (Buglife Photography Ambassador), wants to draw your attention to an important campaign in support of his field research. GoFundMe is not supported in his home country, Bulgaria, so I created this page on his behalf, to help him raise funds for better photographic equipment. Please read the summary in Radoslav’s own words below and take a look at the beautiful photos in the description.

"After many years of precious moments, learning and dedication to both entomology and macro photography, I decided to gear up with suitable optics and advanced lighting setup to produce output that is up to the highest scientific standards. Your contribution will make it possible to seamlessly blend exquisite artistic detail with ultimate documentary precision, enabling me to focus on the wildlife around without fear of missed opportunities.

The astonishingly intricate world of insects is aesthetically beautiful, but also full of wisdom, ingenuity and desire to thrive. The greater my interest to explore and protect understudied and ecologically valuable insects, the more complex the technical obstacles to overcome. Researching the overwhelmingly complex life of tiny insects feels like exploring another, parallel universe. Streamlined scientific missions require patience, physical endurance, great care and excellent technical preparedness.

Therefore, I ask you to make a contribution towards my lens and lighting budget to help me further reveal the curious life of insects. We all depend on their existence and your donations will help preserve the invaluable wildlife around us. Thank you!"
