"I’ve been taking pictures for when I was very young I think, I don’t remember what age.
I’ve started by painting and drawing and for me photography was a mean of drawing and that’s all. Immediate sketch, done with intuition and you can’t correct it. If you have to correct it, it’s the next picture. But life is very fluid. Well, sometimes the picture disappear. And there’s nothing you can do, you can’t tell the person, oh, please smile again, do that gesture again. Life is once… forever".
