Photographer: Csilla Szabo

Csilla Szabó is a Berlin-based Hungarian fine-art photographer and b&w analog printer.

…following patterns and forms that the mysterious phenomenon of light inevitably draws…


After studying photography in Budapest, she moved to Berlin where she became the apprentice of fine-arts photographer Jeff Cowen, a position she held for many years. While there, she was trained in the art of traditional silver black-and-white printing of large-format photographs on a masterful level, including numerous alternative processes.
She then became a professional printer; over the past years she has printed exhibitions for international artists such as Antanas Sutkus and Arja Hyytiainen. She also conducts printing and portfolio workshops in her darkroom in Berlin, and she was a guest lecturer in the Neue Schule für Fotografie in Berlin.
Parallel to her commissioned printing works, she’s been diligently creating her own photographic works of art. She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and her works can be found in different art collections, such as that of the Ritz Carlton Hotel Budapest and private collections in New York, Paris, Hong-Kong, Berlin, and Budapest.
