I was born in Budapest, Hungary and currently living in Germany. I began photographing in 1980 and after several workshops and professional training started nature photographing in 1994 primarily for my articles. Since 2010 working as a freelance photojournalist. I have been active popular science writer too. In the past I wrote several articles about natural science and pragmatic report for Hungarian magazines and newspapers.

Some of the photographers whose work I really appreciate are Zoriah Miller and Balázs Gárdi and Alissa Everett.

As  zoologist  specialized first of all for the terrestrial snails and slugs. My main themes are: faunistics, ecology and biogeography of snails.

Scientific publications:

HOLZINGER, G. (1985): Molluscan Fauna of the Zoological and Plant Park of Budapest. - Malacological Newsletters 5, Eger, 1985, pp.: 49-53.

Abstract: The author gives a review of the results of his collections between October 1983 and December 1984 stressing that the composition of the artificially introduced fauna may significantly change during a very short period.

HOLZINGER, G., KOVÁCS, T., TÖRÖK, J. (1996): Gastropods Eaten by Frogs and Toads in the Kis-Balaton Nature Reserve. - Állattani Közlemények, 81, 1996, pp.: 59-63.

Abstract: Altogether 35 gastropod species (679 items) were identified from 2879 stomachs of eight anuran species (Triturus cristatus, Bombina bombina, Pelobates fuscus, Bufo bufo, Hyla arborea, Rana esculenta complex, Rana arvalis, Rana dalmatina). On the average gastropods formed 2,9% of the anurans' diet. 11 new snail species for the Kis-Balaton Nature Reserve were recorded. Changes in the gastropod fauna reflected the changes of the environmental conditions in the two study areas of the nature reserve.
