I love poetry, be it in music or be it in Andrei Tarkovsky, Francesca Woodman or anyone else, I just love poetry.

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.

When I'm taking pictures I even forget that I have a camera. When I shoot I forget about everything. Light comes, death comes, people go in and out in costume - and it's like a play.

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

A photographer without imagination is not a good photographer.

I think that any photographer is an investigator. Photography is a pretext to know the world, to know life. To know yourself.

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.
