In 1994 he moved to Paris, where he covered international news as an independent photojournalist. For several years he conducted photographic research on nomadism in various parts of the world.

His photographs are part of the collections of important museums, such as the MOMA in New york and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris.
