My Name is Laszlo and I am from Hungary, I was born in 1970 in Budapest. I was practising photography already back when I was a child, thanks to my stepfather. By the time I was 22, I was making a living from photography as an entrepreneur and 2 years later, as the owner of a Limited Partnership.

I completed my first diving course in 1997 and I continued all the way to the Dive Master level. Then I got more seriously involved in underwater photography with the support of my friend, Gabor Kiss, and right away I was discovered by Submarine Magazine, looking for new talent. Up until 2007 I was using colour slides, then giving in to technological advancement, I also joined the ranks of digital users.

My photos are taken mainly in the Adriatic and the Red Sea but I have also had the chance to visit Indonesia twice. My favourite themes are wide-angle shots with diver silhouettes in the background.

My major accomplishments in Hungary:

2005 – Nature Photographer of the Year
2005, 2007 and 2009 – Overall Winner of Underwater Photography Competition
