I’m a freelance photographer based in Hungary. Since my
childhood has been very interested in the visual arts, especially in drawing,
painting and photography. Taking photos were first only my hobby, I created
pictures with analog technique, developed my skills first in a self-taught way,
later in a photography school. After I bought my first digital camera, the new
technique opened new perspectives: in addition to documentary photography
appeared the experimental way and the abstract style in my work. However, the
basic goals still the same: to show and to capture the little miracles of the
World which we otherwise only walking by and to draw attention to the fact that
we can find something beautiful and good in everything and to try to preserve
them for posterity as well.
I like to play games with colors - lights – shapes. My favorite style is
abstract macro.
I took part successfully on several hungarian and international gorup
exhibitions and photocontests, some of my pictures earned honourable mentions
and several awards. My photos were exhibited in Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Jersey
City, Budapest and sI had solo exhibitions. My photoworks are constantly
published in many books, official printed publications, artistic
catalogues and on online platforms too.
