There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.
