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.

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

There comes a moment when it is no longer you who takes the photograph, but receives the way to do it quite naturally and fully.

When I was just starting out, I met Cartier-Bresson. He wasn't young in age but, in his mind, he was the youngest person I'd ever met. He told me it was necessary to trust my instincts, be inside my work, and set aside my ego. In the end, my photography turned out very different to his, but I believe we were coming from the same place.

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

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 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.
