Contact BANHALMIHuman oversight
Norbert Banhalmi retains photographic and creative direction and final image approval. Automated tools do not independently decide who is photographed, which images are published, or whether a sensitive alteration is acceptable.
EU AI Act transparency
Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 applies from 2 August 2026. BANHALMI follows the applicable transparency duties and the European Commission’s 2026 guidance. Where Article 50 requires disclosure of AI-generated or manipulated image, audio or video content, including deepfakes, the disclosure is made in an appropriate and clear form. For evidently artistic or creative work, disclosure is provided in a way that does not unnecessarily interfere with the work itself.
AI-assisted text intended to inform the public on matters of public interest remains under human editorial review. Where the Article 50 exception to disclosure is relied on, the content is reviewed under editorial control and a natural or legal person retains editorial responsibility. AI does not independently decide publication, sensitive retouching, biometric categorisation or the selection of people. Client-confidential material is not intentionally submitted for public-model training.
