Cinetrip

It Budapest, the capital of Hungary. There is a swimming pool party in a Turkish bath, built in 1586. Not only the outstanding subculture event that attracts the youth, but the atmosphere of the special place which is made more interesting by a light show. Further more, it's not just the pleasure of the hot and cold water, but the underground music mixed by DJ-s, and the sight for sore eyes, which is presented by the show -girl dancing on Turkish music. The party starts at nine p.m.It's joined by both undergrounds and yuppies. At the beginning, the young people are just wondering around, but as soon as it's getting hot, the corners becomes shady, they all enjoy the party as much as they can.

About

Since I decided to be a professional photographer,I always have been searching for human aspects behind exciting visual world.Taking pictures for example of little Hungarian villages or Turkish bath party I always have been searching for faces,eyes telling history,moments hiding heritage of generations,and was interested in reality reflecting from them.I’m interested in changes of social role of places,and people behind this process.The series,born in my mind,a picture – realized through human fate and stories.This picture may disappear soon, without any left.I was an employee of the biggest Hungarian newspaper, called Népszabadság,fulfilling the daily work which is often based on routine because of lack of time.Mostly the travel abroad gave me the possibility for more thoughtful work.Nowadays,I’m a freelance photographer.I excluded those things,what bothered me. I have time to do my own photo series.
