It's about dignity

As a photographer I get the opportunity to meet people in very diverse situations around the world: people fleeing from war, people surviving drought, people working hard to provide a better future for their children... 

​

Taking pictures of people living in harsh conditions cannot be taken for granted. You don’t point your camera and just fire. I try to make a human connection. Besides asking permission I need to cross a number of bridges, both cultural and emotional.

 

In these - sometimes inhumane - situations, I feel the desire to help give back dignity by giving them the attention and respect that every one of us deserves. Hopefully my work reflects this attitude.

​

The site is organised in THEMES (Refugees, Believers, Daily Life...) and longer term PROJECTS that I worked on.

I invite you to indulge yourself in different worlds and stories to nurture your compassion and understanding of fellow human beings.

More than the portfolio of a photographer, I hope you’ll see this website as a tribute to all of us, "Humans".
