I strive for individual pictures that will burn in people's memories.

Some of the great pictures happen along the journey and not necessarily at your destination.

What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling.

If you want to be a photographer, you have to photograph.

I think life is too short not to be doing something which you really believe in. Whether you're photographing for yourself, for your job, whether you photograph on the weekends or everyday or once in a while, the main point is having fun and to be exercising your curiosity and to be really in love with what you are doing.

We photographers say that we take a picture, and in a certain sense, that is true. We take something from people's lives, but in doing so we tell their story.

Unconsciously, I think I watch for a look, an expression, features or nostalgia that can summarize or more accurately reveal life.
