The idea behind the name

Why 7074, and why sport, music and nature.

The name

The prosaic reason first: 7074 is my surname written in digits. T-O-T-H — seven, zero, seven, four. The numbers draw the same four letters.

Put together, Gabor7074 is a name and a number at the same time — a human half and a logical one. Photography needs both: the precision of the craft, and the part you can only feel.

A concept

People are not separate from nature. In sport, the body reaches for something beyond itself. When music is played purely, it moves through the musician, through hands and voice.

These are doorways.

I photograph the moments when people walk through them.
