About his photographs, he wrote :
My photographs emerge from a preconceived idea transformed into accidentality. They are conceptually premeditated images, in which hazard has a capital importance. I look for what Roland Barthes called the “punctum”: a detail, something that turns suddenly close, as if I was surprised by an unwelcome presence that disturbs me but, at the same time, makes me think.
