Each image conveys a sense of simple joy of being and living in the world. “To me it’s essential to show the beauty and dignity of people. Empathy and walking is the key to my work. A normal day consists of about 8 - 10 hours walking around looking for people (15 to 20 kilometers a day). I try to read people’s lives, the circumstances they live. I’m fascinated by their cultural background and identity ”.
