Professional career
On 1 October 2003, at the age of 18, Bence founded a company and began to make a living from photo competitions, lectures, writing articles, building exhibitions and selling images, while continuing to spend thousands of hours in his hides. In November 2004, he switched from analogue to digital technology. In spring 2005, he experimented with a one-way glass photo technique, which allows him to photograph shy animals more closely without disturbing them. This technique soon became widespread among photographers shooting from hides.

Bence drew the attention of international profession when he won The BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year’s Eric Hosking Award (for photographers aged 18–26) in 2005. He was invited to photograph wildlife of Pripyat National Park in Belarus as part of the National Geographic's Wild Wonders of Europe, one of the most significant photography-based conservation books, which featured 69 of the most talented and dedicated European wildlife photographers photographing the rich and varied natural heritage of 48 European countries.

In 2006, Bence launched an enterprise based on wildlife photography tourism. He renovated a farm and turned it into one of the most popular photographic venues for hide-based photography in Europe, thanks largely to his innovative one-way glass hides, which have transformed the practice of hide photography. In the same year, he was named Hungary's 'Wildlife Photographer of the Year' for the first time. He won this title in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2015, more times than any other person in the history of the competition.

BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Costa Rica, Brasil, South Africa
Between November 2008 and April 2009, Bence worked in Costa Rica, building hides for wildlife photography purposes, going on to do similar work in Brazil from September 2009 until March 2010, developing his skills in planning, designing hides and experimenting with different materials and construction techniques.

In 2010, his image of leaf-cutter ants, entitled 'Marvel of Ants', won him the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, and Bence became the only photographer in the history of the competition to win the Grand Prize in both the young and adult category In 2010, Bence was named Honorary Citizen by the village of Pusztaszer in recognition of his contribution to the local community.

In 2012 he built his underwater metal hide known as the 'Theatre'. He designed exclusive bird and big game hides for Zimanga Private Game Reserve in South Africa, which started a business based on the most extraordinary African photo hides as an alternative to classical safaris.
