The daughter gave up very interesting photos for the exhibition.

Todor Angelov Kemilev was born in 1910 in the town of Dobrich and was one of the first 8 photographers conferred the honorary title ‘artist-photographer’. Having started his career of photographer at the age of 17 after apprenticeship with the photographer Sarkisyan in Dobrich he became down the years one of the very first professional photographers in Bulgaria who contributed most to the development of the photography in Bulgaria. In the beginning of the 50-s he started experiments in the field of color photography that was almost unknown in Bulgaria in that period.  

The Dobrich Art Gallery is thankful to all people who presented photographs for the exhibition.
