ABOUT

DSC_6989.JPG

I am a self taught photographer. I have been a hobby photographer till 2015. It changed step by step in the last six years. I have always been an open minded person. I cared about people and social issues. That was the reason why I have graduated as a social worker back in Hungary. But after I have been volunteering in four different African countries (Zambia, Ghana, Uganda and Guinea Bissau) it has changed me radically and my eyes became much more open and more sensitive to human suffering. I have noticed in 2018 there are more protests around than before. This recognition led me to start my long term project about protests' emotions. No matter what political side we talk about. I plan other documentary photography projects or photo essays in the near future such as Greenland (about climate change) or my ongoing project about the living conditions of the refugees in European countries and last but not least to cover the struggle of the Sahrawi people/Polisario Front against the Moroccan troops in Western Sahara. I worked in Ukraine for 3.5 months last year as a photographer on the frontline. I am working for Story Picture Agency and SOPA Images as a contributor at the moment.
