Photographer/professor
I learned analog photography in my high school years, but in that period of my life I was more driven towards the fine arts, which I practiced for ten years.
Later I continued to chase my passion for visual arts becoming a professional dancer and choreographer then professor at the Hungarian Dance University.
After working and teaching all around the world I had a vision to connect all my experiences in photography again in 2016.
My main disciplines are portraiture, movements and creative works for artists, theatres and companies. As I usually shoot fast moving people, hence the name: Moving Target Photo. I also teach visual communication, composition, posing, lighting and editing techniques.

My partnership with the Nelson Museum Archives & Gallery allows me unique access to these archives, giving me a deep perspective on how Nelson has evolved and how it will continue to change in the years to come.

As an enthusiastic adventurer, I enjoy experiencing Nelson to its fullest, whether that be on the slopes at Whitewater Ski Resort in winter or sailing up Kootenay Lake in the summer months.

Now, I strive to give back to the community that has been so kind, caring, and supportive during my formative years. I try my best to make an impact in the community with the help of my fellow Rotarians, and being a member of The Nelson Daybreak Rotary Club has given me ample opportunities to help those around me.
