Csaba Tokolyi

Picking up photography as a hobby as a teenager, Csaba took the long transition period turning into a professional underwater photographer.

It was only in the mid of 2006 when he bought his first underwater setup (an ikelite housing and strobes) for his Nikon D200.

However, international acknowledgement did not take long to follow.

His current setup includes Nikon D200 and D300s bodies in Subal housing with Ikelite DS-125 strobes.

Over/under shots are on the top of his diet but macro subjects are also cherished.

Working as an art director at an advertising agency, balancing his photography between fine-art, applied art and sometimes reportage is a daily task.

Nowadays Csaba is expanding his horizon by starting up (land based) wildlife photography.

Knowledge and respect of the enviroment it operates in. Also of the communities that make this possible. Recently more and more dive centers and vessels offer photographer targeted services like separate rooms to assemble and service underwater camera gear, bigger rinse tanks for our huge setups which is really nice. And of-course kind and helpful staff who know the territory by heart is also a nice thing to meet.
