I am a freelance photographer based in Dunakeszi, Hungary.
I was born in 1979. I graduated from the Faculty of Law then I qualified as a tax adviser. I really started to take photographs in 2013.
I am especially interested in people-centered documentary photography and portraiture.
Framing real happenings, human stories, faces, emotions, moods, thoughts from my point of view, yet remaining authentic to the themes that are often profound and grotesque, humorous at the same time, not lacking playing with forms, structures, spirituality and surreal features either, which inspire me when I release the shutter.
I was awarded the AFIAP (Artist FIAP) distinction by the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP) in 2017, followed by the EFIAP (Excellence FIAP) distinction in 2019 for my results at international photo competitions under FIAP Patronage.
I was given the A-MAFOSZ (Artist MAFOSZ) distinction in 2019, the A-MAFOSZ/b (Artist MAFOSZ bronze) distinction in 2021 by the Association of Hungarian Photoclubs (AHP) for my results at Hungarian photo contests under MAFOSZ Patronage or acknowledged by MAFOSZ and at international photo competitions under FIAP Patronage.
