To simply show, without artifice, without tampering with the story. To remain in the background, to look, to fade into the periphery of the world. To do the job, to be called upon to report without touching a thing!…

To be a witness, but a witness of truth, to become separate from oneself, to steer clear of beautiful pictures, to question oneself, to observe, to protect oneself. To get close to people and take photographs. So simple.

I am a staff photographer. I remain at the service of people and information. But the latter, unfortunately, depicts a shattered and pitiless world and spreads the foolish conception that profit, any profit, is a goal to be pursued. Luckily, photographers are there to bear witness !!!
