Season 7 ✅

Finally, I can say the longest season of my basketball filming career is finished. 😅 Going from London to Bulgaria has been a huge change, but it’s been an incredibly eventful and rewarding journey. And now, with EuroCup on the horizon again with Balkan Botevgrad, I’m super excited to begin the next season with even more motivation and a greater desire to better my skills as a videographer, photographer, graphic designer, and social media manager.

This season taught me so much, both professionally and personally. It pushed me to be more creative, adapt to new challenges, and continue improving with every game and every project. Most importantly, it introduced me to some amazing people and allowed me to build relationships I’ll always be grateful for. None of this would have been possible without the trust and support of everyone around the me.

I want to thank Akademik Plovdiv for allowing me run their socials, it was a pleasure to work for my home town and they will forever be in my heart! 💙

I’m excited to see what the future holds, and I’m ready to keep learning, creating, and making this next season even better. Let’s get started! 🙌🏻 by @ivan_grotsev

Chapter 30. 😁

Life really does move fast. Somewhere along the way, I stopped trying to impress everyone else and started making my younger self proud.

Grateful for every version of me that got me here, especially the little one. Grateful for the people I’ve met along the way and for all the experiences that have shaped me into who I am today.

Here’s to the first 30 years, and hopefully at least 30 more, continuing to work hard, chase my goals, and make the next chapter just as good as the last. 🤍

Goritsa Waterfall ⛰️

Just about an hour from Sofia we found this place on the map, it was an easy 20 minute walk to what I can say is one of the best waterfalls I’ve seen in Bulgaria! taken in Ovcharchenski Waterfall by @ivan_grotsev

A few weeks back when I went to Milan to shoot for @hapoeltlvbc in the @euroleague 🎥📷

Got a chance to explore the city a bit and take some street photos as well as do my thing and cover the game for the team doing photo and video!

Excited to go on more trips like this so let me know if you enjoyed this and tell me what you would like to see more of from me! 🙌🏻

After six unforgettable seasons with @londonlions and 21 years in the place I’ve called home, I’ve made the decision to take the next step in my journey and return to Bulgaria. This was not easy for me, London has shaped me, challenged me, and given me so much, but in my heart, I know it’s time for a new chapter.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone I’ve met along the way. Over the past few years, both in London and with the team, I’ve been surrounded by incredible people who became more than friends, they became family. I learned from you, I grew with you, and I shared moments that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. If I tried to name each person who impacted me, it would take forever, but please know that I appreciate every single one of you who stood by me, supported me, and believed in me throughout this journey.

London taught me how to be a better person and a better professional, and those lessons will stay with me forever. As I start this new chapter back home, things have already begun moving, and I’m loving every moment of it. Being close to my family and loved ones again feels like a blessing, one that fills my heart with gratitude every single day.

Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. This isn’t goodbye, just see you later. 🙏🏻😌💛 by @ivan_grotsev

Season 6 ✅

Every year I do this post I can’t believe how fast time flies and how quickly the season ends, none the less it was a great season getting to know the guys and creating new friendships and making memories, working with new people and getting better day by day at my at craft.

Looking forward to the coming season and to better myself and my skillset, I’m sure it will be full of ups and downs but that’s the game and I can’t wait! 🙏🏻

Shoutout my guy @tgd.visuals for being at my side this season and always capture 🔥

Can’t really put in to words how much of a rollercoaster this season was, extremely proud with what the team achieved and the amazing content we as a media team and I captured this whole season, it has been truly an honour to be apart of another amazing squad of guys who I wish nothing but success for in their future, every moment with the @londonlions will always be a memory in my path!

Time to focus on bettering my skills and abilities this offseason and keep doing what I been doing and hopefully next season brings as much joy and success as this one! 🙌🏻🦁❤️🏆
