Rising artist Christone has been linking up with some extraordinary photography talent lately and adding a vast array of new photo sessions to his artist portfolio. Since COVID-19 has all but shut down the music industry’s live show circuit and concert experience, artists like Christone have still managed to utilize time wisely in a way that’ll keep his career on the move and upward. Featuring two prominent names in the photo and makeup divisions of the entertainment industry, both of these artists have been at the helm of their artistic merit for several years and have ultimately risen to high profile territories after working alongside many big names in the business. And now we will introduce them to you.

Photographer Jozsef Balogh:

“Photography is my main passion, hobby and true love. I was fourteen when I had my first contact with the magical world of photography. At that time I had an analog filmmaker camera and it was love at first sight. I also had a wonderful teacher, Mr. Papp Janos, who showed me all the basic and most important tips and tricks in this industry.

My hobby eventually became my passion and my life changed a lot when I accidently met Mr. Varga Jozsef, one of the biggest names in the modelling and fashion world in Hungary. After this accidental meeting, I became more involved in the world of the fashion photography and modelling portfolio shoots. It was love at first sight to this industry and there was no turning back; I dove right in.

I’ve attended many photography workshops and improved my techniques with different photography courses. This industry demands a professional with continuous self improvement and a need for becoming better at your craft day by day. I would love to highlight one of my favourite workshops at the Tripont Light Academy where I was mastering the lightening techniques for films and photography. Also, my main mentor, Mr. Vass Tamas, taught me the most important tips and tricks in fashion and modelling photography. I obtained my most useful instructions, critics and appreciation regarding my work from him.”
