This Hungarian photographer takes stunning shots of Balaton from places you have never seen before

Péter Orbán has been enchanted by the natural wonders of Balaton since his childhood, and now as a professional photographer, he enchants us with his stunning photographs, which he takes from the most unique places at the Hungarian lake. 

Péter Orbán was born and raised at Balaton, more specifically in Badacsonyörs, a village right at the foot of the lake’s iconic northern mountain, Badacsony. He has worked as a professional photographer since 2015, but photography has been an important part of his life for over ten years now.

Péter’s main focus is nature photography, but he has photographed weddings, real estate, and much more. His work has been featured on various printed and online platforms from book covers to advertisement campaigns.

His photos have also appeared in prestigious magazines such as National Geographic and PhotoPlus, the world’s best-selling independent Canon EOS camera photography magazine.

In an interview with Roadster magazine, Péter says that he has a very special bond with Balaton. He likes to hop on a bike or take a walk to explore some hidden places in the region, and he “often spends days browsing an online map to find a new lookout spot”, adding that searching for the right place often takes longer than taking the photo itself.

To the question of whether he has a preferred place near Balaton, his answer is very simple: “everything in the region is my favourite”.

He then mentions Csobánc Hill (Csobánc-hegy) that has beautiful views over the lake and the famous monadnocks at the same time. He also likes the plateau of Fekete Hill (Fekete-hegy) with its lonely trees and many great hidden spots.

Besides the Hungarian lake, Péter often photographs events, buildings, and various other objects, but as he says, Balaton is his real source of motivation, a place that enables him to travel without having to actually hit the road and that has something special to offer even on an ordinary day.
