She is a portrait and documentary photographer mainly capturing images of the slowly disappearing world of peasants. Besides photography, it is important for her to preserve personal stories. She aspires to salvage values through her works, which are aimed at capturing beauty and value both for the people featured in them and the audiences who see them. Her frst solo album, Crooked Country, was published in 2019. She mainly takes photographs in Palóc Land, capturing living folk costumes and traditions. She has been a scholarship holder of the Hungarian Academy of Arts since 2020. As part of this programme she documents life in two villages: Rimóc in Palóc Land, and Kupuszina in Vojvodina, inhabited by a Palóc population. She won the Sándor Kőrösi Csoma Grand Prize in 2022 and was nominated for the Highlights of Hungary Award for her Crooked Country project in 2023.
