[Photography] puts a human face on issues which, from afar, can appear abstract or ideological or monumental in their global impact.

You are never freer than in that moment when you decide to expose yourself to sniper fire.

Unfortunately, the world continues, history continues to produce tragedies. And it is very important that they be documented in a humane way, in a compelling way.

If you want to connect with people who are in distress and great grief and scared, you need to do it in a certain way. I move kind of slow. I talk kind of slow. I let them know that I respect them.

I dont think tragic situations are necessarily devoid of beauty.
