  I was born in Érsekújvár. I bought my first SLR camera in 2014 and I quickly got hooked and I went to a number of lectures and courses. The learning process hasn't stopped, and it never will. I am most interested in nature photography, including animal photography. Since I was a child, I have spent a lot of time outdoors, where I find peace, and then I only focus on photography. I spend weeks or even months on a subject before I see the image on the monitor that has been in my head all along. I want to create something special and lasting with my pictures so that I am not the only one who can experience the things I have seen over the years.
