ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A few days ago Thailand, a country that hosts me, has lost his beloved King. To honor and commemorate His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej, one of the best King that a Nation could want. I dedicate these photos to all the Thai people, their strength and their courage, Their devotion and their joy, Their pain and their memory, Their past and their future. Because "A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people". Mahatma Gandhi
AUTHOR
I'm a non professional photographer and traveller now based in Asia. From my home base I can follows the -asian- region's main social and environmental issues day by day. Nowadays, my work is focused on the poorest people life, working conditions and daily struggles.
Usually I shot with my small 35mm lens. I chose this lens because it forces me to get in touch with the people I photograph. Always thinking of the words of Robert Capa:"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough". "Photographing people and especially the most vulnerable people, has always been the only thing that really interests me in my life and work. Document and understand, traveling
to let others know about the living conditions of many populations in our world. This is what make me feel happy. This is what makes me get up in the morning and love my camera. As the great photographer Sebastiao Salgado use to say: ”people are the salt of the earth”. But we often forget this salt, we often throw it away. We can help people to understand this salt is the only treasure we have on this planet. Here, with the pictures we take, we can show the value of this salt. I work with any type of camera any kind of
weather and difficulty. Always keep my eyes and my heart open. Because if you want to touch people soul you must be able to take pictures with your heart." My dream is to became a photojournalist.
