The Ultimate Pool Party
Raja Iliya, United States
The Ultimate Pool Party
DESCRIPTION
The ultimate pool party. This photo was taken at the wedding of my friends Mike & Rachel during Spring 2017 on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. The unique shape of the pool surrounded by palm trees made for the perfect aerial shot. 
AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Raja. I'm a professional photographer, videographer, marketer, dad, and musician. Growing up and moving to new countries every couple of years allowed me to see the world from many angles. Moving from culture to culture, I quickly learned to adapt and become a part of my surroundings, paying close attention to the world’s nuances, colors, and sounds.

All of this experience gave me a unique perspective on the beauty of culture and shaped me into the creative professional I am today. I’ve been so lucky to see many breathtaking views and meet many extraordinary people. I can only see life through an optimistic lens.

My passion is bringing stories to life through photo and video, and helping brands transform their creative vision into a reality. Throughout my career, I've captured content for everything from lifestyle and nature brands to fashion and tech.
