I'm Sebastian, born in Slovakia to Hungarian parents. At 16, I moved to Ireland, where I've lived ever since.
My fascination with photography happened early, but it wasn't until my mid-20s that I started being serious about photography. Self-taught, I delved into photography through a multitude of resources—pouring over books, dedicating hours to tutorials, and exploring the vast repository of knowledge on all online platforms I found.
My primary focus and passion is Nature Photography.
Some of my work has been showcased in newspapers, and in 2021/2023 I was humbled to secure a place in the top 12 out of more than 7,000 submissions in Eye on Nature, Ireland's largest wildlife photography competition.
About me
My photography
As a wildlife photographer, my main focus is on not disturbing the animals I photograph. To achieve this, I wear camouflage clothing and use hides to blend into the environment, ensuring I stay hidden. By studying their behavior, I minimize my movements and avoid intrusion. This respectful approach allows me to capture the beauty of wildlife while ensuring the animals remain undisturbed.
My images
My editing process is all about maintaining the authenticity of my images. I believe in light editing to enhance the natural beauty captured in the moment. This includes minor adjustments to brightness, contrast, and color balance to reflect the true scene as accurately as possible. I steer clear of using any artificial intelligence (AI) or heavy editing techniques that could alter the reality of the photograph. My goal is to present wildlife as it genuinely appears in nature, preserving the integrity and authenticity of each shot.
