| Comment: | Rayna Baldzhieva Karastoyanova (1878 – ~ 1958). Rayna graduated from Sofia’s First Women’s High School and married in 1898 the photographer Dimitar Anastasov Karastoyanov. She started to work as a retoucher in her husband’s photographic studio. However, she soon became a photographer herself. Although Rayna worked independently and continued the photographic business until approximately 1936 after Dimitar’s death in 1919, there are hardly any photographs signed by her personally. The family had four sons: Bogdan, Vladimir, Bozhidar and Lyuben. Bogdan Dimitrov Karastoyanov and Bozhidar Dimitrov Karastoyanov became the Karastoyanov family’s third generation of photographers. |
