CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY & DESIGN
My website is a selection of my work of the last 25 years, showcasing the creative projects dearest to me. Design has been part of my carrier as a photographer from the beginning. The most appealing challenge for me has always been the design of complete company images, and it is these works, and of course my books that have been part of my life the longest. Websites, publications, magazines, books, calendars have been the colours on our palette year after year. I have tried almost every aspect of photography and it has become a tool for me to express my visual world, or perhaps more than that.

About me
Balázs Juhász
Photographer, advertising graphic artist, designer
The last 30 years have been characterised by creativity, a great variety of work, life-changing experiences and lasting creations. From the very beginning I was a travelling, research photographer, but over the years I have tried my hand at almost every field of photography and advertising. As the author of several successful books, my work has been exhibited nationally and internationally from Budapest, through Paris and Delhi to Tokyo. My second book, My Dream India, opened my eyes to a fast-changing world, to cultures in the process of disappearing. Since then, I have felt it my duty to capture them, to preserve their values. Since 2012, I have been organising photo tours to different lands and cultures around the world. On these trips I try to pass on my knowledge and experience. Since 2017, I have been organising my trips and trainings under the name FotoSherpa. The first culmination of my work was my black and white photo album Paris flâneur, published in 2005, and in 2010 I completed my second book, My Dream India. My third book, about my homeland, was published in 2018 entitled Treasure Baranya, followed shortly afterwards in 2021 by Transformation - The Big Book of the Buso, the fourth album of my own.

Transformation
The Great Busó Book
The Busó Festival is undoubtedly a special attraction, but as a simple visitor, one remains an outsider, as if the secret that surrounds the busó would also envelop the event itself. In the Great Busó Book the photographer breaks through this hindrance, goes into the hot centre of the tradition, and makes visible what otherwise remains hidden from the eyes of a mere spectator.

Treasures of Baranya
This book invites you on a fairy-tale journey, presenting the colourful and exciting world of Baranya with its wonderful pictures and varied, exciting stories. It shows us the customs, the life, the centuries-old traditions, the built and natural heritage of our southernmost county from a unique perspective. The album offers a complex experience to the reader, its images and stories not only tell tales to the people who live here, but also entice visitors to explore.

My Dream India
A photo album with pictures by a Hungarian photographer and script by a Hungarian Hindu monk. It is neither a travel guide, nor a textbook. It is a confession, a life's work. The meeting of a photographer and a monk. This book tells the story of a Western photographer and a Western Hindu monk reflecting on the wonders of an inexplicable world. The book was written over four years of fantastic travels and experiences.

Paris flâneur
I produced my first book, Paris flâneur at the age of 35. I spent six years photographing the city, which captivated me straight away and never let go. My tool is my camera, my "fourth eye" and - the City, the island where I feel at home - the place that evokes my old liberated self, where one can come face to face with oneself. I asked well-known people for co-authors whose work and life had been exemplary for me, and whose writings and thoughts turned images and moments into a tangible experience.

Travel, photography, adventure... everything we have always wished for!
A tapasztalás és tökéletesedés egyik legjobb lehetősége és színtere az utazás. Az utazás egy próba, egy kihívás. Az utazó mindig tart valami felé, keres valamit, megtartva gyermeki rácsodálkozását e kincsekkel teli világra. A fotográfus segítségül hívja az eszközét, médiummá válik, hogy továbbíthassa üzenetét. A FotoSherpa a világ leképezése belső szemünk által. Kaland, tapasztalás és játék. Mind az, amire mindig is vágytunk! Csapatunk legfőbb célja, hogy általunk megismert világokba, kultúrákba juttassunk el amatőr és profi fotográfusokat, átadva tudásunkat, tapasztalatunkat. A FotoSherpa egy fotóközösség is egyben. Tagjai lehetnek mindazok, akik hasonló módon nyitottak a világra, szeretik az utazást, a változást, érdeklődnek más kultúrák iránt, fogékonyak a képi világra és ebben örömüket lelik. Légy Te is az útitársuk! 2012-től már majd 100 út és képzés áll mögöttünk, a világ különböző tájaira szervezünk fotótúrákat, a Balatontól a Himalájáig. Főbb desztinációink: Korzika, Dolomitok, Párizs, India, Burma, Ladakh, Kuba és persze Magyarország. Minden évben indítunk képzéseket, stúdió, portré és képfeldolgozó workshopokat.
