Nationality: Hungarian

Reisinger Zsuzsanna is a young Hungarian self-taught photographer who lives in Budapest.

In my travels I can easily imagine that I could have been born into completely different circumstances and my worldview would have been radically different, having been influenced by a completely, (…)
