Since 1995 I have worked as a part-time freelance photographer. Work has included editorial, commercial, portfolio, portraiture and weddings. Clients have included Hungarian Ministry of Culture, French Institute, Titanic Film Festival. From 2000–2004 I worked intensively with the arts department of the British Council, Budapest, on a series of in-house publications.
