About

I was born in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary in 1988. 

Even though I got a basic analog camera as a gift from my father at the age of 10, I never really considered it as an art form - I was always busy with drawing and painting from a very young age. 

From 2018 it became clear to me that I'd love to tell untold stories through photography. I look for small traditions, remote places and people locally who seemingly disappear in their environment. Their stories make them stand out and more importantly we can learn something in the process. 

Since 2020 I felt the need to create conceptual projects as well. I believe this way the architectural design thinking and creating can dissolve in photography. 

I currently work on several long-term projects.
