Welcome to Bekalens
Photography, for us, isn't just about pressing a button; it's about freezing time, capturing the essence of a feeling, a fleeting glance, the raw beauty of a moment. Our journey into this world of light and shadow began a couple of years ago, almost by accident, really. I remember picking up my first camera, feeling a mix of excitement and a slight sense of 'what am I doing?' But something clicked. Since then, it's been an incredible adventure. We've found ourselves drawn to the diverse beauty of the world around us. There's something truly magical about witnessing the intricate details of nature, the vibrant colors of a sunset, the delicate dance of a butterfly's wings. Then, there's the wild energy of wildlife, the way a fox pauses mid-stride, or the majestic gaze of a hawk soaring overhead. And, of course, there's the warmth and joy of photographing pets and people. The unconditional love shining in a dog's eyes, the playful spirit of a kitten, the genuine laughter shared between friends, the quiet intimacy of a family portrait – these are the moments that truly resonate with us. We believe that every individual, every creature, every scene has a story to tell, and we're incredibly privileged to be able to capture those stories through our lens. It's more than a hobby; it's a passion that fuels our creativity and allows us to connect with the world on a deeper level. We're still learning, still growing, and we're so excited to see where this journey takes us next.

I'm the face behind the camera. I have a deep love for nature, especially beautiful sunsets, sunrises, animals, and long walks. I spend as much time as possible outdoors, hiking with my wife, Réka, and our four-legged companion, Teo. However, something always felt like it was missing, a way to truly capture and share the breathtaking beauty I witnessed in nature. Then, one spring day, I inherited my sister's (who is also a photographer) old camera and started learning photography. I immediately felt like I had found my perfect hobby. The camera became an extension of my arm, and I was constantly taking photos of wildlife and stunning landscapes, improving my skills with each shot. As my photos got better, I started receiving requests to capture family events, which brought me immense joy. I loved being able to freeze those precious moments in time. Over the years, I've continued to learn and grow, mastering techniques for lighting, posing, and composition. I've also upgraded my equipment, and I realized that my life would be complete if my hobby became my profession. That's how Bekalens was born."

It's a cool feeling when you make someone feel like you really see them. Sure, I like messing with the lights and camera, getting everything just right. But it's also about the little stuff, like fixing a stray hair or smoothing someone's shirt. Those tiny things make a big difference. I didn't pick photography, it just kind of happened. I remember when I was thirteen, I borrowed my brother's camera, and suddenly everything looked different. Regular stuff turned into cool pictures, and I wanted to capture every moment. I learned that a good photo isn't just a picture, it's a feeling, a memory you can hold. Then I met my husband, and he saw things the same way I did. We both love taking pictures, and it's like our own secret language. Every sunset we shoot, every smile we catch, it's all part of our story. We're not just taking pictures, we're making a picture book of our lives together. And that's the best thing ever.
