Nudes nominee

I made this series of pictures in an older factory in Budapest. It has been transformed into four different studios, each one with its own theme. The series is part of a longer term collaboration project with Dorka, a young talented model from Hungary, and Sandor, an Hungarian foto artist who is coaching me on lighting and artistic arrangements. When entering the studio, I immediately got impressed by the backdrop that was featuring a striking composition of flowers. Sandor and I asked the model to improvise and take different poses on the coach she felt confortable with. We knew we could rely on her talent. When making this series, I tried to capture moments of timeless beauty and inject a certain artistic touch. Back at home, I decided to convert the series in monochrome to bring a more dramatic mood into the pictures.

It all started when I moved to Germany in 1990 and started to work with amateur models. I learned nude photography with the professional photographer Arboulan in the late 90s. As of 2004, I further learned from the Hungarian artist Szeni Jung. I then decided to start my project Venusonearth, including my own website, being a member of photo communities, and participating in foto contests.
My first ambition was to get printed in the French magazine PHOTO. I succeeded in 2007 and got printed eight times since. I then focused on my main project (2012-2017) and built a portfolio of nudes and portraits with the amateur model Julia who became my first muse.
After more than 30 years, I am still a passionate amateur photographer. Through my work with more than 100 models, I've succeeded in organizing one exhibition in Miskolc, Hungary, and getting international recognition, including 5 gold medals, several honorable mentions, jury choices and many acceptances, Contest juries from Trierenberg in Austria, the German Open Circuit, Riedisheim in France, and the Dodho magazine have appreciated my work and motivated me to continue my creative work.
