Monochrome Hub presents the photographic archive of Ivailo Stanev — a singular body of work, represented and managed exclusively by the gallery.

This dedicated platform brings together his editorial, documentary, and artistic projects within one continuous vision.

The work of Ivailo Stanev — built over decades.

Ivailo Stanev is a Spain-based photographer who has worked in fashion, documentary, and conceptual photography for more than 25 years.

His photographs have appeared on the covers and pages of Esquire, Playboy, Harper’s Bazaar, Maxim and other international magazines — commissioned, selected, and trusted to carry stories.

Collected throughout Europe, the United States, Latin America, and Asia, his work is valued for its clear observation and the presence it brings to each frame.

Marked by emotional depth, clarity of form, and a measured approach, his photographs reflect a discipline and precision refined over time.

The photographs of Ivailo Stanev are built around presence — the human kind.

Whether working on editorial, documentary, or artistic projects, his attention remains on people, moments, and emotion.


He is drawn to silence, shadow, and the in-between.


The images don’t shout — they touch.


Shaped by years of practice rather than passing trends, his work holds its own ground.


Through decades of commissions, exhibitions, and editorial collaborations, he has developed a recognisable visual approach sought out by editors, collectors, and curators.


This is not a retrospective; it is a living body of work — focused, personal, and enduring.

The archive isn’t a collection.

It is a world built over time, frame by frame.

A defining aspect of Ivailo Stanev’s work is its continuity. His photographs develop through sustained attention — a way of returning to certain themes, places, and gestures until a clear direction emerges.


Rather than relying on isolated impressions, his practice builds gradually, shaped by observation over time. This steady approach gives the work its coherence: a photographic language marked by consistency, clarity, and an unmistakable authorial sensibility.
