An open vision in order to let the focus tell the story in its full existence. This is the way I look at the world and the drive to make my pictures in Iraq, Afghanistan, West Bank, Israel, Syria, Nepal, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia and Europe. While looking for a focus in my own life, I found one behind the lens. I found a destiny that took me to places, that made me come into contact with people, that made me encounter a various group of beliefs and ideals which all reunited a part in me.
Dismayed by brutal violence, surprised by brotherly hospitality, touched by inspiration and inspired by the subject I decided to dedicate my soul to photography and to not only search for but also extend my own limits in order to send a message. A message with a sense of justice and an open vision.
