Documentary photographer,

"Although I asked my parents to buy me a camera at the age of nine, I only got my first camera at the age of nineteen.
I'm happy that photography has happened to me. I think it suits my temper a lot - I like the fact that every single picture is created in a fraction of a second.
When I photograph I feel much better than when I don't. It is as if I start to feel the firm ground under my feet or I forget that it is not there at all. And sometimes I feel as a magician. I believe, this explains everything."
