I use my intuition. I tell my students: use your brains, but also use another part of yourself.

I have the great privilege of being both witness and storyteller. Intimacy, trust and intuition guide my work.

The photograph is kind of a proof - a proof that I actually met these people, that they actually have lives, and that they're worth considering.

Every single immigrant is part of a larger history that needs to be communicated in all its ambivalences and complexities.

There are many images which I miss on purpose. I've done too many of them before and photographing them again doesn't change the world, or me.

My only agenda is to bring attention to otherwise ignored and shunned lives.

[A photograph] is a part of the evidence. I'm not saying it's the truth - it's part of the evidence.
