Buildings Tell Tales is my first photobook and brings together several years of exploring and photographing Budapest’s historic residential buildings.
Behind the city’s familiar façades lies another, more intimate Budapest: old staircases, quiet courtyards, passageways and unexpected details rarely seen from the street. The book brings together a carefully curated selection of the places and details that have fascinated me most.
The photographs are not only about architecture. Worn steps, fading paintings, old inscriptions and traces of craftsmanship reveal something of the people who built, inhabited and transformed these spaces over generations. Together, they offer a journey through a lesser-seen Budapest, where the past remains quietly present in everyday surroundings.
Published by BELLIBRO in September 2025, Buildings Tell Tales: Budapest’s Hidden Treasures is a 232-page hardcover photobook (25.5 × 29.8 cm), with a preface in English, French and Hungarian. Recognised with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences Special Prize at the Beautiful Hungarian Book competition, the book has also attracted coverage in the Hungarian and international press.
It is available directly from BELLIBRO, with worldwide shipping, as well as from selected bookshops in Budapest.
