de Gábor FIALA

1968, Esztergom

He has been taking photos since his childhood and has been working as a commercial fashion and portrait photographer since 1994. He is at home in every technique there is from traditional archaic photography through analog to digital, and teaches them to different age groups at schools and workshops. However, he exclusively uses analog and archaic techniques for his art photographs. He is averse to digital and all other forms of prints made of his works. He holds craftsmanship in high esteem along with real materials, the personal time spent when creating a photograph as well as the ‘magic’ of the creative process, the chance for the unexpected and preserving tradition. He has been awarded numerous photography and art prizes. His photographs can be found in Hungarian and foreign private and public collections.
