It feels nice to believe that in reality the characters of our favourite childhood stories are as cute and their everyday lives are as cosy and nice as we imagine. As I have been observing wildlife for many years, I can say for sure that there is not too much emotion out there. Instead, there is instinctive survival, reproduction, and fight for food and breeding. Nature’s laws seem simple, but they are infinitely complicated, which makes me wonder each and every day.

Wildlife photographer, born in Hungary, 1985. In 2010 he won the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photography of the Year award in London. He is the most effective photographer in the 53-year-old history of the competition, being the only contestant winning the first prize in both the young and adult categories. In 2005 he experimented the one-way glass photography technique, making fundamental changes in hide photography practice. This technique has been widely used all over the world, and most hides are equipped with such glasses.
