Photography has always been an important part of my life. The question that intrigues me most is whether and how photography can impress or affect beholders. Can I show them something new that they have simply not glimpsed earlier. Will their opinion change upon seeing a photo? 

My career did not start as a photographer, but with the years passing my interest increasingly turned toward photography. In recent years I learnt a lot from György Török, Sándor Újvári and many others. Assimilating others' approaches is far from me, so I usually only undertake jobs where I feel I can contribute some extra to the benefit of the project and where my own ideas can also be put to use.
