Generally I try to meet people in the most common places and to show people in their everyday life, with their ordinary attitudes, their way of being.
Some photographs presented here are almost "group portraits". In Madagascar is strong the "group", like the family, the ethnic group or the religious group, associations... forms a very strong dimension rooted in the local mentality. It can be said that the group is worth more than the individual.
These photographs have been taken in rural settings in general, because it is there that the original mentality of this slow-moving people still lives.
The presence of man and life in general, are the subjects that I prefer for my photographic adventure.
