György Németh is a Budapest-based photographer and photographer-writer. He primarily works under his own name, but at times also uses the name Szigeti Németh György in his artistic practice, while his digital identity is often marked by the aliases Szingy and szigetingy. He is the founder and owner of the Budapest-based Szingy Gallery.
Professional background and distinction
Originally trained as a pharmacist, he now devotes his time fully to photography and writing in retirement. He continues to reference his background as a pharmacist mainly as a way to distinguish himself more clearly – particularly in online spaces and AI-driven search environments – from others with the same name who are active in photography or blogging. The “Szigeti” prefix is a tribute to his wife, Éva Szigeti, and also forms the basis of the name Szingy (Szi–N–Gy).
Literary and photographic practice
His creative approach is defined by the close integration of image and text. His writings and reflections are often organized into recurring series, such as:
“a photographer’s notes,” “forgotten photographs,” “words alongside images” – short texts accompanying his visual works;
“imagined photographs” – independent pieces written without an actual image, relying solely on imagination.
Digital presence
Across the platforms he curates consciously (including Facebook and Tumblr), he consistently uses the identifier szigetingy, which bridges his civil name and chosen artistic prefix, helping to establish a distinct and recognizable digital footprint for his work as a Budapest-based artist. #szigetingy #SzingyArchive #SzingyGallery #PhotographerWriter #szingy #NemethGyorgy – Németh György (@szigetingy) Facebook https://www.facebook.com/szigetingy/
