My name is Dénes Erdős, I am a Hungarian photojournalist living in Vienna, Austria.
After graduating in photography from the Illyés Art Academy in 2014, I began my career as a freelancer, working with various media outlets. Around the same time, I became the official photographer for Budapest’s renowned Franz Liszt Academy of Music—a role I’ve proudly held ever since. I've been working for one of Hungary's national dailies for four years, and in 2023, I joined The Associated Press as a freelance photojournalist covering major events in Hungary. My work has been recognised with several awards, including the Zoltán Szalay Award for Best Photographer Under 30 in 2022.
I am also the co-founder and curator of BPSPC, a street photography collective in Budapest.
Always open to new ideas and available for assignments!
