„Have a person in the picture!” is how I answered a question at the entrance examination of MÚOSZ press photographer school at the end of the 90s. A timeless thought, I still assume it today.
Since then, I have photographed on domestic and international assignments at countless events and weddings. I’ve always found a new challenge, there’s always been an opportunity to improve.

I have learned to deal with pressure in situations where there is only one unrepeatable moment to take the highly anticipated photo. I have also learned that a professional’s  work should never fall below a certain level.

Managing to take the prime minister’s photograph just moments before the paper went  to press, and yet still getting the image to the front page is part of the pressure, part of the job, part of the chase. When I worked shoulder to shoulder with top American photographers at the wedding of a famous Hungarian-born billionaire in New York, it was my image that reached the world press first.

To this day, I still love traditional black and white film. The quality and atmosphere from Kodak TRI-X 400 is something that cannot be replicated with digital images.

 I feel honoured to have been able to use this medium at a professional level, it taught me a lot and gave a firm foundation to how I work today. I am inspired by the photo essays of James Nachtwey, Sebastiao Salgado and Imre Benkő the most.
Through my profession, I have also learned patience, understanding and perseverance.
My profession is my vocation.
