About
Get to know me
Hey,
I’m Eszter!
Art Lover
STORYTELLER
obsessed with turquoise colour
I’m a candid-style photographer and artist who lives in Bristol, UK, with over 12 years of experience in the field, and I love what I do!
My journey as a photographer began with working with different agencies and newspapers to deliver daily photos for the press. It has been an incredible adventure that led to establishing my photo studio, Emerald Photo UK.
My approach to capturing images is profoundly personal and rooted in storytelling mixed with a unique artistic flair. Natural lights are my favourite, sometimes combined with artificial flashlights.
Candid moments, emotions, and storytelling are the most significant parts of my work. I strive to capture more than just images; I aim to capture emotions, stories, and the essence of cherished moments forever.
I BELIEVE IN
unspoken stories that unfold in the simplest moments
Through my lens, I capture the fleeting expressions, the subtle glances, and the unguarded emotions that often go unnoticed. My photography is not just about the images I create; it’s about the stories they tell.
It’s about the laughter that bubbles up during a family gathering, the tender look shared between partners, and the resilience shining in the eyes of a single mother. These moments, raw and real, are the essence of life. They speak of a beauty that is genuine and unposed, a beauty that exists in the everyday.
Through my candid style, I aim to offer a glimpse into the world as I see it – a world where every person’s story is worth telling and every moment holds a universe of emotions waiting to be discovered.
Portfolio
I collaborated with Eszter on a project where she helped me document my process and create certain photos in a difficult environment. Regardless of the challenging environment and task, she had multiple solutions, and we managed to finalise the project successfully in hours.
Besides that, I have seen and witnessed her personal and professional projects – I can confidently say that she is a real disruptor in her industry and has an amazing creative mind – that always has little twists in her work. I can recommend her for any type of photography project where her skills, confidence and kindness are needed.

Before We Start
Let’s Chat and Plan
Let’s grab a coffee and chat before we even get to the big day. I want to hear all about what you’re looking for, who’s who in your crew, and all the little things that matter to you. If we’re shooting at a special venue, count on me to do a little recon beforehand. I’ll scout out the best spots for photos – it’s like a mini adventure to ensure we nail those perfect shots.

During the Shoot: Fun and Flexible
On the day of the shoot, whether it’s your wedding, a family gathering, or a casual portrait session, I’m all about capturing the real, unscripted you. Laughter, tears, goofy dances – I’m there for all of it. And hey, no worries if things don’t go as planned! I’m super adaptable and ready for anything. We’re going to have a great time, come rain or shine.

MY JOURNEY
To become a photographer
Where it all began
My photography journey has been wild and wonderful over the past 12 years. At the heart of it all? Family. They’re my everything; that deep love for family life shines through in my photos. I’ve always been a bit of a creation junkie, totally obsessed with the magic of making something out of nothing, especially when it comes to capturing those real, unguarded moments.
From Art School to Photojournalism
It all started with a few years at art school, which was eye-opening. I loved every second of it. Then, I took the plunge and headed to the University of Kaposvár to dive even deeper into the world of photography. Around this time, I got my first taste of life as a photojournalist. Let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the buzz of capturing a story as it unfolds right in front of you.
Mastering the Moment
The experience was a game-changer for me – it’s where I learned to anticipate and snap those fleeting, telling moments. After Kaposvár, I did my master’s in photography at MOME, which was just the cherry on top.
Capturing the Extraordinary in the Everyday
Now, why am I a photographer, you ask? Well, it all goes back to my days in photojournalism. There’s this incredible thrill in catching a moment that tells a whole story in a single frame, and doing that taught me to see the extraordinary in the everyday. That’s what I bring to my candid photography – finding and freezing those little slices of life that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Fun facts
I’m originally from Hungary but now living in the UK.
I’m a total animal lover – I’ve got five cats and a dog waiting for me every time I see my family in Hungary.
The plot twist in my story? I met my partner in crime in Bristol, but get this – we’re actually from the same tiny village in Hungary and even went to the same primary school! Talk about a small world, right? We make a great team, especially in wedding photography, which has become a big part of our business. He’s got this incredible knack for lighting, which just takes our photos to the next level.
