Ever since its launch, We Love Balaton has been committed to sharing the photos of talented photographers on Facebook, but this summer we thought we’d give you a chance to to find out a bit more about some of them. Balázs Szalai has not been involved in photography for a long time, but his pictures posted on Facebook are already quite a hit. It turns out that he lives in Balatonfüred, his main area of operation is the north shore, he recently shot some excellently timed pictures of the storm in Tihany, and his photographer idol has been profiled by Forbes.

  • Balázs started out by taking a few photos, which were a huge success on Facebook  
  • He first got into photography with a point and shoot camera  
  • He’s won a photo competition with that camera, but now he’s moved on to a Nikon  
  • He’s into landscape photos at the moment, but his most popular pics on Facebook are of dogs  
  • He usually doesn’t shoot anything more than once  
  • With the exception of Tihany  
  • He’s a big fan of Chase Jarvis, a photographer everyone wants to work with, says an article of Forbes from a year and a half ago  
  • His favourite place is Apáti-hegy because it has a great view of Tihany, Aszófő and Füred  
  • This is where to follow him on Facebook  
  • And here’s his website
