About

After “Szellemkep” photo school, and Kodolanyi College faculty of television and journalism I worked as a travelling photo journalist for TALALKOZASOK magazine, and NÉPSZABADSAG news paper. I have lots of shoots from Hungary, India, Nepal, Brazil, Bulgaria, Albania, Vietnam, Turkey, Croatia, and almost every country in EU. In 2007 I finished the Hungarian Film Academy as cinematographer. Nowadays work as DOP in videos, comercials, concerts, non-fiction movies, and in making of-s for commercials and feature films. Time to time I direct documentaries, about things are realy interest me.

My documentaries as director and DOP:

Lanterna –(Dunaműhely, 58 min) – 2007
This documentary introduces three different lighthouses of the Adriatic and their staff, and tries to answer the question, who and why have taken a job that entails the often several-month isolation and how they adapt to their specific circumstances. Their choices and personalities would be difficult to generalize, as their paths to the sea led from rather different directions.
