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

In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.

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.

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.

Photography is full of symbolism, it's a symbolic language. You have to be able to materialize all your thoughts in one single image.

I can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I'm a journalist. My life's on the road, my studio is the planet.

The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.
