He is a freelance photographer who currently acts as chairman of the Hungarian Association of Photographers. He was member of the curatorial board of the second Hongarian PhotoWeek in1998 and of the following Month of Photography in 1999. Since 2002 he has been acting as chairman of the association. It was under his leadership that the Month of Photography 2006 event joined the international Photofestival Union organisation which elevated the project into international domain.

 

He is mostly interested in classic and documentarist photography as well as the use of archaic techniques for creating pictures. Currently he pays much attention to experimental approaches in photography as well as attempts at renewing the visual language of photography. He is also interested in art that cross-merges with photography as a medium.
