About Peter

📷 Portrait by Nishimoto Kyōko

My name is Peter Orosz. I write stuff and take pictures. I live in Tartu, Estonia. My family name is pronounced “O-ros” — it’s the Hungarian word for “Russian”, which I am not. This website is where I publish my work.

If you wish to support my work, the best way to do so is to buy a copy of The Wilds of Shikoku. It’s a rather beautiful book and is also available in a special edition.
