About me

Hi, my name is Ferenc…

I am a professional web developer originally from Hungary, now based in Brussels.

I got acquainted with photography at a very early age, around 6-7, when my Father – who himself was also very passionate about this art in his twenties and thirties – gave me a small, Russian camera. I took the photos and he developed them in the darkroom. In the primary school I took my camera with me on several occasions: parties, excursions etc.

Later, my interest turned towards computers and this new passion dominated my childhood and later all my studies. I have finished an MSc in Computer Science at the Pannon University, located in my hometown, Veszprém. After graduation worked for 7 years in Budapest at companies of different profiles and sizes.

Coming to Belgium in 2012, I tasted how is life at a startup and 3 years later I sailed into calm waters by working for the European Commission. In the spring of 2017 I moved to Tokyo for 6 months, where I invested all my time into my newly found passion called photography.

Q&A

What gear do you use?
I have a Fujifilm X-T2 MILC camera at the moment and I am in love with it. I will never use any other gear than Fujifilm, that is for granted! I have 3 Fujifilm XF lenses: XF35mmF2, XF18-55mmF2.8 and a XF55-200mmF3.5. I also have some vintage Russian lenses: Helios 58mm and a Jupiter 135mm. I use these with a K&F concept adapter.
You have a thing for Asian people, right?
Yes, absolutely. It has started either with Bruce Lee or with the Samurai of the mini-series called 'Shogun'. From an early age Asians represented for me mentally very strong, introvert but honest people, in possession of some ancient wisdom. Sure, I had good and bad experiences, still there is a lot to learn from Asian people - especially from the Japanese I would say.
Do you photograph weddings?
I don't think so. Honestly, I don't like the fuss and too many people around me. I work so much better in one-on-one situations or with small groups.
How is your name pronounced?
Ferenc, the same as conference, reference or difference. Just please drop the first syllable.
