What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this.

I don't believe a person has a style. What people have is a way of photographing what is inside them. What is there comes out.

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

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

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

We are one human race, and there must be understanding among all men. For those who look at the problems of today, my big hope is that they understand. That they understand that the population is quite big enough, that they must be informed that they must have economic development, that they must have social development, and must be integrated into all parts of the world.

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