Scientific Publications

Before I moved to the USA and became a natural history photographer, I worked as an ecologist at a LIFE-Nature Project in Hungary. As a result of our nature conservation research, I co-authored three scientific articles. Our research group also published a booklet showcasing our conservation efforts and featuring my images.
