Akos Major graduated in 2001 from Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design in Budapest, Hungary with a degree of Visual Communications. After 10 years of work, Major left to work as a free-lancer. As can be seen in the photographs above, Major believes in the simplicity. He advocates the beauty of simplicity, not just in visuals but in words as well. His predominantly white exposures offer a degree of serenity and calmness. The high contrast of the pale colors in the visual also conveys a sort of peacefulness in the eye of the viewer.
I personally find Major's photographs to be intriguing because of the way he depicts them. These appear to be normal landscapes, full of color and chaos. However, when Major snaps them, they appear largely white with slight undertones of color. This really intrigues me because he has an amazing ability to take what once was a colorful and vibrant landscape full of greenery and other colors and make it appear so serene with a white hue to everything. Whenever I try to take a picture of a landscape I usually try to enhance the colors that are in the picture. I never really though about what dulling the colors would do, and in Major's case, it gives me a sense of serenity to look at these pictures.
