Born in 1980 in Budapest, Hungary, David Nemes studied architecture before transitioning to photography. After working as a commercial photographer and winning several international awards, Nemes shifted to an artistic practice in 2023.

Nemes’ artistic oeuvre focuses on abstraction, influenced by his past connection with architecture and inspired by modern painters of geometrical abstraction.

Nemes experiments with the boundaries of photography through cameraless and lensless photography. He creates photograms inspired by fellow Hungarian artists László Moholy-Nagy, György Kepes, and Dóra Maurer.

He uses photography in unconventional ways to create pure abstraction, transforming the act of capturing moments into a thoughtful process of shaping intentional visual forms. Rather than simply documenting reality, he focuses on the aesthetic and structural aspects, treating the medium as a tool for constructing visual art, much like a sculptor crafting deliberate shapes.

His passion for abstraction and experimental photography drove him to invent a distinctive technique, called "sensorgraphy," where he works solely with a camera sensor, bypassing the use of any lens to create innovative and abstract imagery.
