Dániel Gerse (b. 1988) is a Hungarian-born photographer currently rooted in Chișinău and Berlin. Educated as an architect, he has worked professionally in Hungary, Sweden, and Germany. Parallel to his architectural career, he discovered a passion for photography while studying in New York under the mentorship of photographer Skye Tan.

His early career was shaped by an internship in photojournalism at Index.hu (now Telex), where he sharpened his skills in visual storytelling. Over time, his photography practice evolved into documentary work, with a particular focus on exploring often overlooked social issues that resonate with his own lived experience and personal connections.

As a documentary photographer, Dániel has explored sensitive subjects such as mental health struggles, the precarious conditions of the gig economy, and the experiences of Roma migrants fleeing the war in Ukraine to Moldova. His ongoing project focuses on the border region between Moldova and its breakaway state, Transnistria. Across these projects, his approach has become increasingly collaborative, inviting viewers to learn alongside him and engage more deeply with the stories he tells.

His publications include Birds in Flight magazine, PH21 gallery, Positive Magazine, the Sarajevo Photography Festival and Telex.
