A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.

I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.

My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.
