To have success in your professional life is not so hard. To succeed as a man is more difficult.

An image of the earth, its landscapes, directly affects people. The beauty of the earth creates enormous emotion, and through that emotion, you can transmit knowledge and raise consciousness

It's time to come together. We all have the power to change, so what are we waiting for?

I wanted to be a scientist. I did a thesis on lions. But I realised photography can show things writing can't. Lions were my professor of photography.

I learned to be a hot-air balloon pilot to take tourists over the Masai Mara Reserve in order to earn some money and finance the work I was doing with my wife, Anne. We were studying the life of a family of lions for more than two years. Taking pictures was a way to capture information we could not put in words.

I never lose an opportunity to speak about my obsession: humankind and the environment.

The lions taught me photography. They taught me patience and the sense of beauty, a beauty that penetrates you.
