BIO
My name is Peter Kiraly. I was born in 1993, in Kecskemét. I started out doing street photography in 2016, as part of an university school project. Since then I’ve been carrying my camera with myself everywhere I go and I try to capture “decisive moments” which are sometimes humorous and/or absurd. The aesthetic and philosophical nature of photography also interest me besides its visual aspects, therefore I really enjoy discussions that revolve around these subjects.
I often don’t plan my series, they form on their own by revealing their connections. This (non-exhaustive) collection strives to showcase the variety of my photographs. However, I feel like I search for the same prospect as every other artist (which is also what the art of photography is in itself dedicated to): the possibility to mediate between reality and our sense of the world.
