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.

As in any person's life, there have been difficult moments: I have a son with Down's syndrome; through my photography, I have witnessed all manner of human degradation. But there have also been very happy moments.

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.

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.

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.

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 looked through a lens and ended up abandoning everything else.
