For me, the strength of photography lies in its ability to evoke humanity. If war is an attempt to negate humanity, then photography can be perceived as the opposite of war.

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

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

I don't believe there's any such thing as objective reality. It's only reality as we experience it.

Is it possible to put an end to a form of human behavior which has existed throughout history by means of photography?

If I can upset people, if I can ruin their day, then I have done my job.

I try to use whatever I know about photography to be of service to the people I'm photographing.
