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

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

I looked through a lens and ended up abandoning everything else.

For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.

It is a great honor for me to be compared to Henri Cartier-BressonBut I believe there is a very big difference in the way we put ourselves inside the stories we photograph. He always strove for the decisive moment as being the most important. I always work for a group of pictures, to tell a story. If you ask which picture in a story I like most, it is impossible for me to tell you this. I don't work for an individual picture. If I must select one individual picture for a client, it is very difficult for me.

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.

You photograph with all your ideology.
