Laszlo Szigeti.
Life Unscripted
Laz Szigeti (b. 1974, Budapest) received his first camera at 13, beginning a lifelong commitment to photography.
Influenced by Daido Moriyama, Sebastião Salgado, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Josef Koudelka — as well as Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, and Laurie Anderson — he gravitates to alternative and underground subcultures. His eclectic, lyrical visual language finds poetry in the everyday and the marginal.
A devoted traveler, Szigeti has photographed extensively in India, China, Thailand, South Korea, and Hong Kong, and has created substantial social photography across Central and Eastern Europe.
His work seeks to strip away the material to reveal portraits of people — their loves, dramas, and desires — moments of candid truth.
Currently exploring fine art photography, he spends time in studio and theatre, focusing on dance and contemporary ballet.
