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.

I have two children. I have a Down syndrome child whom I love very much, and my wife that I love.

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.

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

We live in a society where we never prepare people to be a community.

I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.
