Rediscovering Inspiration in Hungary and France with @balintporneczi
To see more of Bálint’s portraits from Hungary and France, follow @balintporneczi on Instagram.
“I had a burnout. I thought I was in the wrong place — in the head, and in the soul,” says Hungarian photographer Bálint Pörneczi (@balintporneczi), describing a period working for a newspaper in Budapest. “When you wake up in the morning, you don’t want to shoot the same thing, knowing it will be in the trash the next day. This thing became like a life in a factory.” With that, Bálint started a new life in France, where he delivered newspapers in small villages before finding work again as a photojournalist. On Instagram, he shares a series of street portraits of the people he encounters in his daily life. He cites August Sander, an early 20th century German portraitist, as an inspiration, and describes his surprise to find himself making portraits with an iPhone. “It makes me happy, I enjoy photography as I did in the beginning. I re-found the pleasure, and slowly different doors start to open.”
