I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.
It's kind of the filmmaker's job to use visual, cinematic language in a way possible to tell a story that reaches and touches as many people as possible.
When you're making a film you're thinking about how to tell the story visually.
I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.
I'm trying to grow more as a journalist and understand the story I'm photographing in order to communicate it in a better way.
All photographers have to do, is find and catch the story-telling moment.
Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Watching a movie from beginning to end is like reading, because even though what you see are images, they are telling you a story.
To make films, it always begins with two words: what and how. First of all, you have to find a story, or what are you going to tell? And you have to find a way to tell it visually.

Comics don't work if the story is all in the text and the images are illustrative. It's hard to have enough faith in the artists to allow them to do their job.
There has to be the right pacing of images to tell the story. I'm always stunned at how little you can put in.
