David Balogh
photographer
I was born in 1992 in Budapest. I started my career at a Hungarian tabloid magazine, then gained further experience at a daily newspaper. But I soon realized that my real passion is sports photography. I started working for a Hungarian football team in 2016, and since then I have been focusing on capturing sporting events, working for newspapers and agencies as a stringer. My passion is to document action-packed moments in all sports.
My work has been recognised with numerous awards. I was a finalist in the Sports Action category of the 2022 Picture of the Year (POY80) competition and a World Photography Organisation honoree. I also came third in the IPA Photo Competition and three of my images were finalists in the 2023 World Sports Photography Competition. I won the Hungarian Press Photography Competition three times, including first place in the Sports category in 2023. I also won the Special Jury Prize in the Hungary365 Photo Competition in 2023 and the Special Jury Prize in the Sports category in 2024.
