The Journey of a Moth

The typical life-cycle of an amateur photographer generally involves discovering the egg of photography in our teens, devouring all the information we can find like caterpillars, cocooning the camera for all but family occasions once children come into our life, and then a re-emergence of our magnificent creativity once they’ve left home and time becomes our own again. Not wanting to put his photography into hibernation, Hungarian photographer Tibor Litauszki took an alternative route when his first child came along. Finding he had much less time during the day, he switched from shooting birds to shooting nocturnal wildlife once his son had gone to bed.

‘Birds were my favourite subject,’ he tells us, as they are so varied and interesting every moment is a joy when you are watching them. But as we all know, photographing birds requires a lot of time.

When my son was born I had less time but still wanted to indulge my two loves my family and photography. So I started photographing the wildlife that comes out at dusk and at night. This way I have time for everything.’ When he sleeps though, he doesn’t mention.
