The light in Alaska in particular is so beautiful. So beautiful! Such incredible light.

I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.

I am a former economist. I never went to photography school to learn photography.

More than ever, I feel that the human race is one. There are differences of colour, language, culture and opportunities, but people's feelings and reactions are alike. People flee wars to escape death, they migrate to improve their fortunes, they build new lives in foreign lands, they adapt to extreme hardship….

I'm not a religious person. The language of photography is symbolic.

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

There are moments that you suffer a lot, moments you won't photograph. There are some people you like better than others. But you give, you receive, you cherish, you are there. When you are really there, you know when you see the picture later what you are seeing.
