VIKTOR SZABO
I was born on April 8, 1999 in the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava.
Thanks to my family, who led me into nature every possible time, I developed a profound relationship with nature.
I started spending more time in wilderness and gained new experiences to better understand the natural world.
So when I started showing interest in photography some time around 2015, I decided to combine my two biggest passions into mostly wildlife photograph.
With a big help from my extremely supportive parents, I was able to get my first camera and my adventures could begin.
In the beginning I was taking pictures of virtually everything but after a while I developed a passion for mostly animal photography.
So I focus most of my work on wild animals. During my time I have had the opportunity to photograph animals in my native homeland of Slovakia, as well as in many foreign countries, like USA, Canada, Norway, etc.
I spent 5 months studying in USA at high school, where I won my first photography competitions:
2017 Central New York Regional Scholastic Art Awards Competition: (Syracuse, Central New York region, USA):
"LaFayette Central School District senior Viktor Szabo earned an Honorable Mention award in the 2017 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for his photograph, "The Forest at Night.""
