What kind of equipment (camera body, lens, filters, flash, tripod, cleaning equipment other) do you use?

 

I use a Nikon D3100, with a Nikkor 18-105 (and an UV filter)

 

 

What do you like and dislike about your equipment, specially your camera, and how would you improve it?

 

I love my camera, and still I have a lot to learn about using it.

 

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

 

My actual lens, it works perfectly for me.

 

 

 
When you travel, what is in your essential photographic kit bag?

 

I have a small bag with raincoat (very useful), inside just my camera with the lens, and usual extras (cards, etc.)

 

 

What kind of software/tools do you use for post-processing, if any?

 

I use Photoshop for making my pictures. I’m not a photographer, my main work is the post-processing.

 

 

How long have you been taking photographs? How do you find inspiration? How do you take your pictures?

 

I started playing with pictures about 7 years ago. My inspiration mostly come from the happenings of my life or around me, my actual feelings, or even some photos I took that grabs me and start a story.

 

 

Which style of photography do you like the most, and why?

 

I love all styles of photography, but black-and-white film photography was always my favourite, I think it can have the biggest impact and the deepest story if it’s really good.

 

 

What goal are you working towards within your photography and when will you know you have reached it?

 

I hope that my images have a story inside, and different people can find different meanings in them. If my work can bring something to the people, a feeling, a memory, or anything, I will be happy.

 

 

 
Looking at your own work, which piece is your favourite? Why? Please provide a link to the picture.

My favourite one is an old piece, with the beautiful eyes of my little sister. I love this picture because of her.

 

 

Does your work fit into any one or more distinct genres (nature, landscape, long-exposure, black-and-white, infra-red, urban, artistic, macro, vintage, vernacular, social, street)? If other, please specify.

 

What I’m doing it’s not photography, it’s more like painting. Digital surreal photomontage or photomanipulation, somewhere call it creative edit.

 

 

Are there any photography websites that you visit regularly?

 

There are many, I love to find beautiful pictures. For example a hungarian site, spottr.hu , and homeisaplaceinthehills.tumblr.com  I used to visit.

 

 

What is the one most important lesson that you have learned since you started taking photographs?

 

Every little thing has a tale to tell. Children know the best of this.
