I started to take pictures as a 10 year old child and I have never stopped. Photography has traditions in my family, my mother wanted to do it for living, but WW II kept her from fulfilling her dream.

I took pictures of dance, musicians and landscapes. In Hungary, I received my diploma in photojournalism and worked for a magazine for several years. I have been a member of the Hungarian Federation of Journalist since 1986. Later I shot for a photo agency in Germany.
In the United States I wanted to capture the beauty of this land first, when we arrived in 1992.

My photos were published in several books in the U.S. and in Europe.
I taught photography at CPCC from 1993 until 1998 followed by The Light Factory
Photography for me is finding the unique, building relationships, seeing and showing the art in every day. Through my photography I try to convey feelings of wonder.

I live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am married for over 30 years and have two daughters. I use Nikon cameras for over 30 years and I am a member of NPS, Nikon Professional Services.
I am fluent in English, German and Hungarian.
