I have always thought of myself as a storyteller. When I was 12, I started to write short stories about things that happened in my life.

Everybody thought, that I would be a great journalist, so that is what I decided to study. One of the things I had to learn there was photography. And from the moment I first held a camera in my hands, I was enchanted. By the possibilities, by the storytelling. Each of my photographs has a story. And there is nothing more powerful than that.
