High quality art, reliable work, valuable human connection from the same source: this is Mea.
I am Mea Barath, Christchurch based Visual Storyteller
This is my family, the six of us. Our life is loud, chaotic, and something crazy always happens to us.
I am a mother of four. I was born in Hungary. We live with my family in Christchurch, New Zealand. My kids taught me there’s no perfect family, no super mom. Life with kids is perfect in it’s own way. We’re exactly enough good as we are. Jam-sleety, hugging little arms around our necks. With a circle around our eyes, but a grateful smile. Being a parent is a challenge but the most wonderful, richest thing in life. I think, family photojournalism speaks about that. And this is my mission.
I’m a storyteller. I take pictures of “nothing special” in families’ everydays, because that’s where the thing that we are calling Life is happening. Goose bumps and heartbeats. Documenting life, photography without poses.
- I graduated in 2009 from the ‘fotografus.hu’ Photography School of the Foundation for Hungarian Photography. I could learn from such great contemporary artists as Miklós Gulyás, Luca Gőbölyös, Zoltán Vancsó.
- In 2020, I also completed the National Training List as a photographer, in Soter-Line Education Center.
Since 2020, I have been teaching documentary photography in Adult Education by National Training List Education training in Vác, Hungary. - In 2020, I was invited by the Italian Association of Children’s Photographers ‘Associazione Fotografia Italiana Neonati E Bambini’ to present my work and documentary family photography at the Documentary Family Week they organized.
