I was born into a family of photographers. My grandmother, Ilona Nádor, was a pioneer among Hungary’s first female photographers and served as the lead photographer for a women's magazine. She was not only my mentor but also my greatest teacher, instilling in me humility, diligence, and—above all—the essence of portrait photography: the ability to see the person behind the image.
After finishing secondary school, I pursued my studies at a technical photography school. My practical training took place at a major daily newspaper, where I had the privilege of learning from renowned photographers. This experience helped me develop the ability to capture quick, precise, and compelling images. However, it was during this time that I realized press photography was not my true calling—I was more drawn to crafting unique atmospheres and visual narratives rather than simply documenting reality.
Early on, I also developed a deep interest in cinematography, leading me to complete a cameraman course. Alongside my career as a professional photographer, I worked for several years as a cameraman for various public television channels.
Since the mid-1990s, my primary focus has been on applied and portrait photography. As a cameraman, I also work extensively in commercial fields, producing music videos, PR films, TV commercials, and viral videos.
Beyond my professional assignments, I always strive to dedicate time to artistic creation, producing photographs and films that stem from the sheer joy of creativity. However, I firmly believe that in today’s world, true artists do not exist—only dedicated craftsmen who approach their work with humility. It is for future generations to determine who has truly created lasting works of art and who will be remembered as an artist.
