Csaba Tökölyi / Nature photographer

I live in Budapest, Hungary. During the day (and sometimes a little longer) I work as an art director at an advertising agency. I picked up photography as a hobby during school years, and remained a casual snapper for years. Then I started diving, and my life changed in many ways. My passion for nature photography started underwater. And after a few years, I started to follow the Darwinian path of evolution and ventured out of the water into the realm of land based nature photography.
