This exhibition is really dear to me, because this is the first time in years when I can finally make it to the opening of an exhibition where I show my work. But it is even more important for other reasons. When I was counting the seconds of the exposure of my camera obscura room photo, it seemed unimaginable that in three months I will see my picture on the wall while I am surrounded by my friends, in Budapest.
Take a look if you are in Budapest!

Today is the day of Hungarian Poetry. I did this project in collaboration with one of my favourite writer Péter Závada in 2013. I’ve created analogue enlargements with the contact print of his handwriting of the photographs which has been inspired by his poems. This one is my favourite.

Ma van a magyar költészet napja. Ezt a projektet még 2013-ban csináltam Závada Péterrel. Analóg nagyításokat készítettem Péter kéziratával a versei által inspirált fotókból.
Ez itt az egyik kedvencem tőle az “Ahol megszakad” című kötetből:
Jövőre harminc
„…én vagyok a vesék és szívek vizsgálója;
és mindeniteknek megfizetek a ti cselekedeteitek szerint.”
Vesémbe látsz, Istenem, mint a röntgen.
Viharlámpásod csontig átvilágít.
Jövőre harminc – szívem visszadöbben.
Ellátni innét már a másvilágig.
Felelj dübörgő, fémes tapsaiddal,
valómban járjon át az égi szólam!
Nézd, félrever a szív, remeg a pitvar
-defibrillálj, ma még ne mondj le rólam!
Závada Péter
I am really excited, because usually I do not share a lot about my projects in advance, but yesterday I had the chance to show a teaser of my upcoming project at Fast Forward: women in photography.
My father is a sailor. Being in distance with someone I love, saying goodbye and reuniting from time to time, or tracking him on the world map were everyday things for me. My bedtime stories were their adventures with my mother around the world. During the course of the last years, I had to realize that moving so much between countries is not only about having a passion for travel but it’s my personal heritage as well. I have always been dreaming about travelling with him, just like my mother did, before I was born. Unfortunately due to the changing situation in Hungary after 1989, I had no chance to follow him when I grew up. Only the urge stayed to travel and discover as much as I can, and the pictures in my head of their anecdotes.
But in the last two years, I have partly achieved what I was dreaming about as a kid: I went on a trip for six months to discover the places what I have only heard about from their stories before. These days, being back in Europe I am still processing the materials. Now my plan is to create a book based on their memoirs, discovering more and more of my personal heritage. This photo is a teaser of this ongoing project, which I can’t wait to share with you, when it will be ready. 🖤
Follow our stories at @womeninphoto instagram, this evening I will share another ongoing project.
This week I will show my work at the Women in Photography instagram page, in #FFConversation with Heather Rattay, Pauline Rowan and Georgie White !
Follow us every day, I will share some of my ongoing projects!
It’s almost been a month now since I am home in quarantine. I am trying to spend my time being productive, experimenting on projects I did not have time before. I will post some results soon! #stayhome #homestudio #paris
There are several new photos in the section “Musicians” with Élodie Frégé, Mélanie Pain, Phoebe Killdeer, Péterfy Bori and Frenk, take a look!
I have been choosen to present my new ongoing project at the event of Fototreff Berlin in Mai Manó House. in the company of Kata Geibl and Péter Puklus.
This is the first time when I gave a public presentation and had an open discussion about an unfinished project of mine. It took some courage and was a very new kind of experience, but it was very interesting to see what impression people have looking at my photographs during the process. I would like to say thank you for all the feedbacks and ideas you gave me. Sometimes other opinions help you look at your work in a different perspective.
Werk photos from our latest editorial shooting with Bori Györök. You can see the collection soon at the International Young Designers contest at the Ukrainian Fashion Week.
It was a honour to photograph the magical show of Daalarna by Anita Benes.
My work got shortlisted at the competition of ArtHungry, I am amongst the 15 best from 324 competitors! Thank you very much!
Finally I have arrived at Budapest and I can’t wait to develop all these treasures from Asia and Australia.
I have spent the last 6 months in the other side of the world, and met a lot of great and talented people, who I am happy to know. Now a lot of work is waiting for me to finish the projects I had worked on while I was on the road, but I am really looking forward to do it.
