Tibor Huszár (* June 16, 1952, Reca – † September 11, 2013, Modra) was a prominent Slovak photographer whose work left an indelible mark on Slovak and world photography.

A graduate of the Department of Photography at FAMU in Prague, under the guidance of Professor Ján Šmok, he quickly established himself on the Slovak photography scene. His interest in documentary photography led him to lifelong themes: the lives of Roma people, portraits of important personalities, theater art, and social issues.

He refined his craft not only at home but also abroad. In the early 1990s, he moved to New York, where he worked as an independent photographer and educator. This period greatly enriched his work and broadened his horizons. His works received international recognition and were exhibited at many prestigious exhibitions.

A sensitive and empathetic approach to his subjects was his trademark. Huszár’s photographs are full of emotion, authenticity, and deep understanding of the human soul. His period documenting the life of Roma communities was particularly significant, capturing their culture, daily life, and struggle for equality.

Alongside his own work, he was actively involved in the development of photographic life in Slovakia. He led the photography studio at the Faculty of Mass Media Communication at UCM in Trnava, where he passed on his knowledge and experience to a new generation of photographers. His legacy lives on through his photographs, books, and in the hearts of all those his work influenced.
