What gives you inspiration?
I usually shoot pictures of simple moments in everyday life. So probably my life, my family and friends are inspiring me. But also my mood – or need – to take photographs or not.
What are your influences?
I am trying to follow what is happening out of my country. Reading/watching online photo magazines and blogs.
Why did you choose these photos?
Because nowadays I take and want to take more of this kind of pictures.
What does photography mean to you?
I’ve studied and worked a few months as a photojournalist. It was horrible to do photography as a full-time job. Nowadays I work as a photo editor, and I am a member of the Hungarian Young Photographers United. So photography could remain something particular in my life, something I can do how I want it or in the way I want it.
