ISTVAN LETTANG
Director of Photography
I've been working in media and the film industry since 2001. I started as a Camera Operator and in 2012 I became a Director of Photography. I immigrated to the United States in June 2000 and I speak fluent English, Hungarian, and Slovak.
Inspiration:
My family has always been involved in art. My grandmother and sister are painters. My uncle was a black and white photographer in New York city taking pictures of celebrities. I spent a lot of time with my Dad fishing and observing nature, this has also inspired my images. My past studies and experience in engineering allow me to see contours in space. This skill is how I utilize and execute my vision as an artist in an efficient matter.
