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

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it's formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate.

I don't want anyone to appreciate the light or the palette of tones. I want my pictures to inform, to provoke discussion - and to raise money.

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

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.

I believe that the average person can help a lot, not by giving material goods but by participating, by being part of the discussion, by being truly concerned about what is going on in the world.
