I invited everybody for a photo session on the red carpet in front of the building of Rudolfinum but as soon as I arrived, it was more than clear for the first sight that the original mission is impossible. The place was crowded because of Dvořákova Praha Music Festival, there was a chore singing on the stage and people sitting everywhere on the stairs including the red carpet.
I had 2 minutes to come out with an idea to save the situation. I decided to climb up to the top of the round platform in the middle of the square which belongs to the ventilation system of the underground garage. Thanks to my first model of the day we took some test photos and it seemed to be an ok option.
So I spent the rest of the afternoon there sending out messages to my further models and waving like crazy to make myself visible. 
All in all we had a great day, even if the location was not perfect, the party was fabulous with lots of laughter.
​Thank you all, Guys for your participation and flexibility (literally :) )

in the framework of RefuFest in June.
I'm thankful to the organizers for giving me the possibility to present the first 100 portraits.
Thank you all who came to see me, I was so happy to meet many of my models again. 
I take a little break now and I will be back to continue from September. 
So stay tuned, follow the project on Facebook and do not hesitate to invite friends to join us.
If you have any feedback or any idea for cooperation please contact me!
I wish you a happy summer and see you soon!

What would have been a more emblematic venue than this one...
'NEBOJ' means Do not worry! or Don't be afraid!
There is a strong tendency in some European countries in our days that certain political forces are gaining influence
​by acting as defender while generating the fake vision of enemies and maintaining the fear. 
This kind of politics leave fingerprints on many levels of the everyday life, from children's education to the atmosphere
of homes. In most of the cases fear comes from false or missing information. Fear from the unknown is working like poison.
A significant part of the society is afraid of the migrants although they have never met a single one.
My goal is to show the diversity of the migrant community in Europe with the example of Prague.
I would like to encourage people from different cultures in Prague's migrant community to get to know each other
Legal Alien in Prague is a growing community,  which can serve as a great platform for communication in order to getting closer to each other.
I'm closing this project's first season with more than 100 portraits and I feel grateful for the participation and support of every single model of mine.
More to come from September!

It was really challenging sometimes to take tourist free pictures but finally we managed 
​with everybody. Aaand we had some sunshine and almost spring temperature.
Thanks for your time and your patience, I hope you had a good time too.
Next shooting is coming in a couple of weeks, stay tuned :)

]]><![CDATA[WHY?]]>Thu, 08 Mar 2018 08:26:01 GMThttp://www.csernusphotography.com/legal-alien-in-prague-project/whyYou ask me about my motivation for this project.
Well, first of all I'm an alien too in this city, I'm from Budapest, Hungary.
Although I love this city, the atmosphere of freedom, the multiculturality, and thats why
we have chosen this place with my family as our new home...yes,
I also need to face sometimes all the other aspects of the expat life.
I also feel sometimes that I am invisible. 
I also whish to visit my auntie on a Sunday afternoon. 
I also would like to invite my best friend for a coffee when I'am really upset and would need to talk to her.
I also would like to celebrate all the birthdays with my family.
I also miss to run into friends at the supermarket.
With all these common experiences we all live kind of similar lifes here. 
We are kind of similar.
My goal with this project is to show that foreigners are not a faceless crowd
​at any point of the earth but people with different roots but with same emotions and hopes.
Fortunately many people know it but there are always some people who need this message.
So I keep on going and looking forward to meeting as many of you as it is possible.

My goal is to collect at least 200 portraits till this summer to paint a really colourful picture of our Alien Community in Prague. As you can see I had more women models so far so now I need men and also models from the 50+ generation.
