Yana Stoyanova

I grew up near Borisova Gradina, Sofia's largest park, and I still enjoy showing its paths alongside the National Palace of Culture nearby, a large conference and concert venue built in the 1980s. On camera I move between the park's lake and the plaza in front of the palace, pointing out how the two spaces work together on a sunny afternoon. I keep a brief, relaxed pace and take questions about the park's history as we go. Video suits an open plaza and park well, since the camera can hold a wide shot in a way a narrow street rarely allows.
