One day, while I was walking in the streets of Puna taking random pictures of the city, a little girl looked at me and asked me to take a picture of her. I did take several pictures as she kept smiling and changing poses. She was happy but we couldn’t communicate because of the language. Her mother asked me if I could print these pictures and bring them to her. And so I did.
Even though I almost don’t know anything about this girl, about her life or her story, I felt a very strong connection. This is how I started to be interested in people. I became fascinated by everyone’s difference and curious about everyone’s life…
“Your aim as a photographer is to get a picture of that person that means something. Portraits aren’t fantasies; they need to tell a truth.“
