News Reporting Pictures : I follow three rules while reporting on news events : Honesty - Respect - Neutrality. Honesty is of course the basis. No lies, no fakes, only the truth. Respect toward my subjects is fundamental. But this respect is also directed toward the people I work for and the viewers of my pictures. Neutrality is my way of approaching things. It has been for a long while. I don't care what my personnal feelings or conviction are about the subject I shoot. As a witness, I have to keep that for myself as much as possible. "Art" pictures : Taking pictures, in my way of doing it, is about telling stories. Stories can be perfect, clean, glamourous, desirable, but are often dirty, nasty, ugly, sad, and unperfect. One way or the other, visual and story must work together to make a great picture.
