In a way my work is documentary. But I am also a photographer who has a distinct style. My photographs are a companion to the reality of the situation.

As an artist you need to move on, you need to try new things.

What the eye sees is a synthesis of who you are and all you have learned. This is what I would call the language of photography.

The unconscious obsession that we photographers have is that wherever we go we want to find the theme that we carry inside ourselves.

I never use a telephoto lens. I need to be close to people. I need their complicity; I need them to be aware that I am there taking their picture. I hate paparazzi.

I do not understand what makes me take a picture. Cartier-Bresson talks about the decisive moment, the necessity to function with lynx eyes and silk gloves. Perhaps what happens when you press the shutter is an intuitive act infused with all you have learned.

In the end, photography for me is just an excuse to get to know the world.
