Life after death

Approximately 50 heart transplantations are performed in Hungary annually. Recipients are always really scared before the operation not just because of the serious surgery but because of the big unknown: what’s going to happen and how, how will work the new heart in their chest, what about the pain or the rehabilitation, etc. The story is dedicated to these people to see what the stages of heart transplantation are, from the donor’s side to full recovery.

My professional photography career has been started as a laboratory technician at a unique photo lab in Budapest (2014-2016). Practically this is the only one, where analog photos are still developed and enlarged by experts not machines. Afterwards I worked as a photojournalist intern at 24.hu, an online news portal and then at HVG, one of the most popular weekly magazine and website in Hungary. Currently I work as a photojournalist at the Hungarian News Agency (MTI).
