Why are you making photos? What do you expect to get from it?

Photography isn’t something that I do but something that I am. I understand that this may sound kind of poetic or arrogant but I can assure you that it isn’t. In other words, I cannot not to make photos whether I am good at it or not.

It’s not about a conscious choice that I made at one particular point in my life but about a habit, a fundamental need of mine such as communication or having a relationship with other people.

I don’t really expect something from photography and I don’t tend to believe that photography should expect something from me, now or in the future. I just try all the time to be better in terms of expressing in a better way what I believe it deserves to be photographed, using my instinct, my personal point of view.

I hate to hear some times people saying that they love photography. Well, I don’t love photography, I love my son. Loving it or not, photography is something that I can’t stop doing for any reason except, perhaps, inability.
