Prey
Photographing wildlife has changed significantly my attitude to 'prey'. Bloodless hunting, when we shoot a serious trophy with a 'camera gun', appeals to the same primal instincts, but now I find it much more exciting, and it requires better skills and a lot more persistence than taking a life.

In 2005 he experimented the one-way glass photography technique, making fundamental changes in hide photography practice. This technique has been widely used all over the world, and most hides are equipped with such glasses.
Since 2008 he has been designing wildlife photography hides in different parts of the world (Hungary, Costa Rica, Brazil, Norway, South-Africa and Transylvania, Romania). His enterprise operating in Hungary welcomes photographers with the most exclusive hides in the world.
