I’m an award-winning Hungarian photographer, dedicated to capturing powerful, authentic stories that inspire and create impact.
I am a photojournalist, born in 1996 and based in Budapest, Hungary.
In 2016, I was named Student Photographer of the Year in Hungary, a recognition that affirmed my passion for photography and set me on the path to making it my profession. That same year, I began studying photography at Budapest Metropolitan University, where I earned my diploma in 2019.
From January 2020 to January 2025, I worked as a photojournalist for Népszava, Hungary’s largest political daily newspaper, where I developed my skills in storytelling through powerful and authentic imagery.
As of 2025, I am working as a freelance photographer, continuing to capture stories that inspire, inform and create impact, both locally and globally.
