“I always question myself: What can I do by using photography? Photography is a part of my life, I never stop shooting. One day I asked myself as usual, and this time I got the answer: To record, to express, and to do something for the society. Starting from the day I first picked up my camera, I should know that photography is not just for fun. It’s also a tool, it’s a weapon. It’s powerful enough to change the world.”
