I've been taking photos most of my life, although I've never really been in the professional ranks. I enjoy it and hope to publish some of my best works someday.

I became interested in photography very early when I was about 17 years old. I first learned with analog shooting basic subjects in black and white and learning the whole darkroom process. I eventually found digital to be more exciting and jumped into it a couple years later. This was about the time I started experimenting with my digital SLR to find out more about the capabilities of my camera and digital photography in general. One of these experiments was when I wanted to use water as my subject or theme. This was adapted from when I saw some other work with fruit and water combinations and realized how interesting it looked—and now this is my own rendition.

I not really professional but like the photography. This photo of tropical monsoon storm near beach where I live. I thought it look unusual. It was colour, but everything look gray from the rain.

My name is Balogh Zoltán. I was born in 1979 in Baja, Hungary. I live at Budapest already today, in the capital, here started to interest taking photos 3 years before. I am an amateur photographer, I developed autodidact on a manner my abilities. My interest circle moves on a wide scale. Travel pictures, still lives, deeper, documentarian character photos can be found between my works, than the landscapes. My determined purpose is that work as professional photographer in the future.
