Ábel studied Computer Science Engineering but after working for a year as a software engineer he became disillusioned with the IT sector. After self-evaluation, he pivoted his career path based on previous job experience.

In 2017, Ábel was hired as a student for the IT Support team at the FINA World Aquatics Championships in Budapest. His ability to handle unexpected situations in both Hungarian and English led to a new position at the event's International Broadcast Center, where he communicated and managed technical challenges with international TV companies. This role resembled a production coordinator more than IT support, marking his entry into the world of production and eventually leading him to Progressive Productions.

Joining the company in 2019, Ábel started as a runner and production assistant. Through dedication, talent, and support from colleagues, he quickly took on more responsibilities and became a coordinator, a permanent member of both the office and production teams. Adaptability and problem-solving skills are his key strengths. Despite his years in the film industry, Ábel's unwavering commitment to the production's success remains constant throughout every project.

He continues his education at Moholy-Nagy Applied Arts University in Budapest, earning his MA in photography. Additionally, he attends Les Gobelins University in Paris for their photography course.

During his university years, Antal's focus shifts from applied photography to his own artistic projects. His photography series often tackle sociological and political issues, particularly regarding national identity, frequently with a critical perspective.

In 2017, Antal joins Progressive Productions as a location scout photographer, primarily responsible for scouting and photographing potential locations in Hungary and Austria. Given his personal interest in architectural environments, this role aligns closely with his passions. After five years, Antal takes on the added responsibility of managing Progressive's visual communication in addition to leading the location department.
