István Borbás
István Borbás was born in 1954 in Budapest, Hungary. The Swedish commercial and feature film cinematographer began his work with Roy Andersson in 1984.

He has also participated in the creation and shaping of books, exhibitions, commercial and billboard campaigns. All of these projects have had the ambition to portray human joy, sorrows and vulnerability in environments and situations we can all identify with. If shown in an specific way, even the most trivial situation (space, light, characters) can succeed in giving us a very precise description of human existence.

This confirms that it is possible and important to use images to influence our conditions in life and our view on existence.
