Of course I will continue photography. I love photography. But when you become old, it's too much.

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.

It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera

I discovered photography completely by chance. My wife is an architect; when we were young and living in Paris, she bought a camera to take pictures of buildings. For the first time, I looked through a lens - and photography immediately started to invade my life.

So many times I've photographed stories that show the degradation of the planet. I had one idea to go and photograph the factories that were polluting, and to see all the deposits of garbage. But, in the end, I thought the only way to give us an incentive, to bring hope, is to show the pictures of the pristine planet - to see the innocence.

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

I work on stories rather than individual pictures.
