White in Black

According to Hungarian author and photographer Péter Nádas, Hungarian photography is marked out by the deep blacks and the love of shadows. Szász experimented with chemicals until he came up with a special blend with which he could bleach out, under a running tap, the whites in his images. He achieved this by using soft (low contrast) paper, so one finds nuances in the shadows, an effect that photography historian Károly Kincses described as "black in black" in his monograph about the artist, 'White and black" (SosemArt Foundation, Budpaest, 2012).
