I was born in Budapest and as a town child I did not know too much about variegation of photography. Due to the inspiration of my husband however the secret looking world of photography opened its doors to me. Moreover, the photo machine became my inseparable companion. I have taken photos with Canon system since 2000. First, I used EOS 3 film bodies, but since then I have been using digital equipment for ages. Now I am a happy owner of a Canon EOS 1DsMark III and a 7D. I rather try to find the message of the picture in the field of emotions, actions and visual experineces than in another things. I am looking for short actions, dramas, flash-like happenings of the perpetual circle of life which are one-off, and does not happen again. I am happy with a nice photo for instance that I took of a model and which was made together with the model working hard together. To shoot the wedding ceremony of a young couple or to take photos of them in the studio is not a difficulty at all out and away happiness to me. Photography became part of my daily life as a professional photographer. I am teaching the tricks of the trade in the field works of the Fotóoktatás Photo School. Also, I am teaching advanced photographers as the creative master of the Art Dance and Model Photo Workshops. I am an owner of the Hungarian-language Természetfotó Magazine and the English-language Nature Photo Magazine and I have been working as creative director since May, 2009. My pictures have already appeared in several exhibitions, publications, journals and books. My previous succes in my work inspires me to continue photography developing perspective and personality of the young talented photographers. Nay, when I find a good photo topic my heart fills with love and passion and gaves a leap, similarly when I find and create a picture in the viewfinder.
