Who is your photographer?

About Me

I picked up my first serious camera more than 20 years ago. I've been working as a professional family and couple photographer in Tenerife since 2018 — trying to be a little better every day than I was the day before. The most important lesson of all these years: great photos don't come from poses and technique, but from real emotions and honest moments.

My Approach

My most important job is to make sure that everyone who puts their trust in me feels relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. The nicest compliment I keep hearing from my clients: they expected it to be awkward and tiring, something to just get through — and then it turned out a photo session can actually be this fun and carefree. We often end the day in this easy, friendly mood by the cliffs of Los Gigantes, in the charming old town of La Laguna, or on one of the beaches of Costa Adeje.

Before the Camera Comes Out

Every session starts the same way — not with a camera, but with a conversation. We sit down for a coffee at a nearby bar or chiringuito, while the camera stays in the bag. We chat, get to know each other, and by the time we reach the location, we're starting the creative part as friends. That's how you get carefree, sparkling smiles with no masks on — even in front of a lens that sees everything. This is the difference between quick snapshots and real, honest portraits.

An Adventure, Not a Photo Shoot

What we do together feels much more like a fun, playful adventure than a traditional photo shoot. I come prepared with games and easy challenges that take your mind off the camera — so the smiles are genuine, because the mood is genuinely good, and you get to enjoy your holiday with the people you love. For lifestyle sessions, I travel light and stay mobile, ready to be right where something real is happening. For editorial portraits, I bring full studio lighting to create something truly cinematic and considered. Either way: it's always more of an adventure than a shoot.

Languages

I speak Hungarian, English, and Spanish fluently, and I can get by in basic German — and yes, I've done full sessions with French and Russian-speaking clients too: with hand gestures, a translation app, and a lot of laughter, somehow it always works out.
