I looked through a lens and ended up abandoning everything else.

I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.

My way of photographing is my way of life. I photograph from my experience, my way of seeing things.

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 work alone. Humans are incredible, because when you come alone, they will receive you, they accept you, they protect you, they give you all things that you need, and they teach you all things you must know. When you come with two persons or three persons, you have a group in front of them. They don't discuss with the new persons what is important to them.

I work on stories rather than individual pictures.

I have tried to bring about better communication between people. I believe that humanitarian photography is like economics. Economy is a kind of sociology, as is documentary photography.
