I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived in Budapest, but the city instantly felt alive. The contrast between historic architecture and modern energy was unforgettable — from the Parliament lit up at night to the calm flow of the Danube cutting through the city. Every corner had a story, whether it was the detail in the buildings or the streetcars weaving through the neighborhoods. I didn’t have much time to capture everything I wanted, but the rhythm of the city made me want to explore more than shoot.

A city I didn’t plan for, but won’t forget.
