Ádám Urbán was virtually born into the photography and news making. His parents were working in these professions. His mother was a layout editor, art director, his father was a socio photographer. His interest towards photography began to be serious at the age of seventeen. He spent his summer holidays as an assistant in the advertising photographer's, Péter Záray's, studio, where the professional advertising photography catches became imbued into him. He had a part in starting the first electronical musical magazine's (Freee) launch, with this he could be the first party photographer of he country. Beside this he made fashion-, portrait and advertising photoes for various agencies. He gained serious life experience during the four months spent with György Faludy, taking the famous outrageous series of the huge poet and his young wife.

I am a devoted to simple, clear, yet still interesting and true contents which have self-expressive thoughts. To show these, instead of following the existing patterns, I strive for genuineness, so I risk with pleasure. These together means for me photograph; this particular image writing, the synonym of enjoyment in my vocabulary. And also diversity. After all the advertisement photography is a documentation carrying value creation. The visual preservation of various subcultures, cultural communities all mean an important slice in my twenty years of time spent so far in photo imaging. I want my photos to open such doors in present, behind which doors the past may retain: how we lived, how we felt, thought, worked. I prefer to watch our world through my camera, and I intend to show my pictures to others the way I see people, landscapes, moods. After all, I am on these pictures, too, and I would like to compress all that sensitivity for reality, visual mode, demands for quality, what I tried to learn from the greatests Hungarian photographers. Their professional and human standards are working in me every time I hold a camera in my hands. I hope all these are authenticated, when I push that tiny button with the intention to see, to see and let seem. According to Burk Uzzle, photo shooting is a love affair with life. And I am a man, who is constantly in love.
