Biography

Daniel Csoka Self-Portrait

My name is Daniel Csoka. I was born in 1988, in a Hungarian city called Zalaegerszeg. I got my High School Diploma in 2007 and then I went to a university in Szombathely, where I received a "Web-programmer" qualification. I bought my very first digital camera on March 31, 2008. This was a simple Olympus FE-20 model. I fell in love with photography, so after 3 months I changed my camera to a Panasonic FZ8, which was a so called bridge camera. Many of my images - found on this site - were photographed with this machine. Some of them won prizes and were even exhibited in the US. In November 2009, I bought my very first digital SLR, which was a Canon 500D. I take photographs with that up to this day.
