I have been photographing the portrait of an end of an era, as machines and computers replace human workers. What we have in these pictures is an archeology.

It's not the photographer who makes the picture, but the person being photographed.

Most of the information we now get is through television and is mutilated. Photography offers the opportunity to spend much more time on a topic. It's relatively cheaper medium, and can allow a photographer really to live in another place, show another reality, get closer to the truth.

Let's build Paradise again.

The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

I have two children. I have a Down syndrome child whom I love very much, and my wife that I love.
