I am Katalin Horváth portrait and documentary photographer.
I live in Budapest as a freelance photographer. I majored in French and Hungarian with a degree in humanities, and after college spent a month in Paris on a scholarship supported by French Institute. I graduated at the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts, Master of Photography in 2021, now I am currently student at MOME Doctoral School in Budapest (DLA studies). I had been documenting the life of ethnic communities living along the Austro-Hungarian border for the past four years. I actively deal with the identity-preserving activities of local nationalities, and at the same time with the effects of cultural globalism and the multicultural phenomena. My doctoral research topic is transculturalism. In addition to works of art, I work as an applied photographer, creating portraits and documenting projects in online and offline media, with theater, TV, and event management companies, for government and corporate clients.
