Előd Bálint Erdély
I was born in Udvarhely, 19 June 1976. I graduated in 1998 in the Bányai János Technical School of Industry in the .székely mother town.. After finishing highschool I was the camera-man of the local Digital 3 Television between 1999-2004.
My favourite subjects are: sociological photography, nudes and everything challenging.I am open to all new approaches.
My approach was mainly influenced by the experiences of film shootings, the stolen illuminating technics.
