When night falls

When night falls is a story about light traps used to detect butterflies. The hungarian light trap network is one of the oldest in Europe. Formerly used for agricultural purposes, now it's used in forest areas to detect invasive animals and get knowledge about species population dynamics.

I was born in Budapest in 1982. I initially studied sociology at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), but my attention eventually shifted towards photography. Since 2006, I have been working as a photojournalist, primarily documenting rural Hungary. My personal photographic interests revolve around the formation of communities, their cohesive power, and the relationship between humans and environment.
