CURRENT MISSION

Get close to people and get close to myself. Explore what's inside and outside. If I can make it through photographs, the better it is!

ABOUT ME

Well, a long story, that's what I am. First, I wanted to be a real science couch potato. But I realized I wasn't made for this purpose, so I left the whole university-research-science-thing for photography and travel...
I achieved some success in nature photography, then I turned to people and my way of thinking has slowly changed. Meanwhile I studied some emergency medicine, so now, once in every month I serve on an ambulance unit. I worked for the magazines Heti Válasz (www.hetivalasz.hu) and Magyar Nemzet (www.mno.hu) as a photographer and a picture editor. Now I'm a freelancer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stepping in the waters of the Barents sea. Walking barefoot on the beach to Finisterra at the end of El Camino. Listening to the sound of waves from my tent on a seaside cliff in Ireland. Riding my scooter side by side with a hawk for a few seconds. Paragliding with vultures in Slovenia.
