About me


UmbertoPezzetta 2021

I was born in 1964 in Hungary to Italian and Hungarian parents.
I inherited my sensitivity for the arts from my Italian father and perseverance and hard work from my Hungarian mother.
It was in 1988 when I developed my first photo. At first, photography was a hobby, but later it became my passion. I have been working as a photojournalist since 1990.
Currently, I am a photographer for Zalai Hírlap. This daily newspaper is published daily in Zala County (Hungary).


Umberto Pezzetta 2021


“All beings exist in order to be photographed by a photographer someday”
“Minden dolog azért van a világon, hogy a fotós egyszer képet készítsen róla”

“AZ A JÓ DOLOG A SÖTÉTBEN, HOGY NEM LÁTOM HA VAK VAGYOK. DE SZERENCSÉRE LÁTOM A FÉNYT ÉS AZ ÁLTALA RAJZOLT VILÁGOT… ÉS TALÁN A LÁTHATATLANT IS.”
