I dont think tragic situations are necessarily devoid of beauty.

Photography can be perceived as the opposite of war.

I want my work to become part of our visual history, to enter our collective memory and our collective conscience. I hope it will serve to remind us that history's deepest tragedies concern not the great protagonists who set events in motion but the countless ordinary people who are caught up in those events and torn apart by their remorseless fury. I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.

I used to call myself a war photographer. Now I consider myself as an antiwar photographer.

When the truth is spoken, it doesn't need to be adorned. It just needs to be simply stated, and often it only needs to be said once.

Photojournalists know the horrors of war can only be exposed at close range. Kodak Film.

The greatest statesmen, philosophers, humanitarians ... have not been able to put an end to war. Why place that demand on photography?
