The event was broadcast live on EFA’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/EFAExhibitionCenterOradea/videos/3553943268251347 The exhibition was organized under the auspices of EFANE and the International Federation of Photographic Art, in partnership with Summit Agro Romania, Oradea and the Association for the Promotion of Tourism of the Region. The author from Freetown brought 73 of his works to Oradea and presented them to the visiting public, showcasing the photographer’s multiple genres: portrait, macro, landscape, creative, abstract and animal photography. The audience was greeted by István Tóth AFIAP, ESFIAP, President of EFANE and Vice President of KMFT, who recalled the online technical and photographic online course he held in 2021 for Hungarian interested people living in the Carpathian Basin, in which Norbert Hős participated. He appreciated and exemplified the fact that Norbert had taken his exhibited pictures in a special environment and context. Art critic Dr. Ramona Novicov highlighted the fact that the characters in Norbert’s photographs emerge from the dark mystery and are transformed into the fairy-tale. The exhibited photographs can be viewed on the EFANE website: https://eurofotoart.ro/expo-personala-hos-norbert-srb-intitulata-metamorfoza/ The exhibiting photographer thanked the EFA for the opportunity to exhibit his works in the EFA Exhibition Centre in the magnificent Medieval Castle.
