Imre Potyó is an environmental researcher, the colleague of Duna-Ipoly National Park Directorate and a nature photographer, holding numerous national and international awards. He is passionate about raising awareness, and has brought many people closer to nature through his pictures, lectures, articles, columns and guided tours. Previously, he worked as a researcher at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, where he was mainly involved in fish biology surveys on the Danube, amphibians, crustaceans and soil, and as a member of the MME, he carried out ornithological studies. His love for nature developed at an early age, and he started taking nature photographs 15 years ago. In the beginning, he was interested in almost everything, but in the recent years, he became obsessed with subjects that are less known, even to nature photographers. "Most of the time I explore my surroundings by myself, I often dream, experiment and wander a lot by night, mostly in the stream valleys of Börzsöny. I search for such new subjects that I haven't seen before, or only partially. I like close-ups with wide angle, daring perspectives and macro photography. I work as an environmental educator at Hiúz Ház in Királyrét, so I can be outside a lot. Photographing and sharing experiences are my passions."
