The purpose of the stories - Reportage

Andrea Calandra

When Wim Menders discovered the photos of Sebastiao Salgado, he was very impressed. One thing he understood by looking at his pictures: "This man really cares about human beings" (cit. "The salt of the earth"). 

  I think this is the best observation you can make of a photographer who takes pictures of people. And I think that what Menders says about Salgado is true.

This sentence hit me. I felt, that this defined perfectly my desire to tell people's stories.


I find that the human being has infinite potential, for better or for worse. Someone said that we are the means throught by, the universe is aware of itself.

Photography can represents our mirror.
