ABOUT

DSC_6989.JPG

I am a Margate based self-taught photojournalist. I have been a hobby photographer until 2015. My first images were published in the Hungarian newspapers during the refugee crisis in 2015. All my life I cared about people and social issues, mainly because I have graduated as a social worker, back in Hungary. The way I see the world is characterised by my time volunteering in Zambia, Ghana, Uganda and Guinea Bissau. It opened my eyes up further to human suffering. Around 2018 I noticed there were more protests around the world than before. This recognition led me to start to cover more and more demonstrations in London and later on other countries in mainland Europe and further a field, irrespective of what side of the political argument their views fell. I covered the frontline in Ukraine for 3.5 months from the very first day in 2022 (Bucha, Kiev, Chernihiv, Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Zaporizhzhia, etc). Currently I am working in partnership with International picture agencies SOPA Images and ZUMA Press.
