Behind the photographs

József Árvai

Photographer · Budapest / Csepel

“I pay attention, and press the shutter when the moment happens on its own.”

I photograph portraits, couples, families, events and animals — in the studio or outdoors, in natural light. My aim is simple: that you look like yourself in your pictures, not a posed version of you.

I live and work in Csepel, and I’m happy to travel to wherever your story happens.
