István András Juhász is a proud dad of two wonderful human beings and a freelance photographer based in Budapest, Hungary.
He completed his studies in economics then went on to work in finance. As a DJ, he took an active part in the Hungarian underground electronic music scene. He had his own program at Tilos Radio, and he was co-founder of one of the first Hungarian independent record labels, Legenda Records.
He was a staff photographer for HVG and photo editor for the online version hvg.hu.
Currently he works as a freelance photographer. In his personal works, he usually focuses on human relationships as well as the effects of current affairs and complex social issues on the individual. To put it short, the main focus is on the everyday life of ordinary people.
Interested in their personal stories, their microcosmos, their way of living and reflection on their environment in order to give a different perspective on and hopefully a better understanding of the world we live in. Or at least to trying to find answers regarding his life.
I am open to any cooperations, ideas, assignments anywhere, worldwide. Just hit me up and let's discuss our common future!
