The parents of this little girl run a small shop in a local market. I was drawn by the light and the shadow and by the shy and curious nature of the child. She moved into the bright light, while her parents remained hidden in the deep shadows. I took a few pictures, and suddenly a father's hand reached out towards the child from the darkness. This is the moment that best tells the story.
Photography for me is about discovery, about seeing the world in moments, and seeing it in my personal way. It is a reflection of my mind, my soul. When taking pictures, I try to be as invisible as possible. I watch everything around me, and work quickly and quietly. I try to take the picture before people notice me, but if they do, I act friendly and perhaps even talk with them. If I can establish trust, I am able to wait and watch for the right moment to come.
