"At the beginning it was flirtation, but passion took its place, and with it came uncertainty. Obviously, it's a long and wonderful story.
More than two decades have passed and the quest continues to capture an instant in time. In our marvellous, frightening times.
Photography bears witness to the fleeting moment. A subtle blend of chance and work. At heart, I am a man of the Orient. For me, openness, respect and trust are the indispensable ingredients of a successful reportage.
But even when you have to conquer fear itself to seize a photo, there is no guarantee that it will have a life of its own. The best you can hope for is that it will be seen worldwide; the worst, that the image will join an invisible archive of millions, left to dream of a "charmed awakening": a return to the public gaze."
