'Lensafesto' of a documentary photographer: 
People often open themselves to a camera in their desire to make a connection with other human beings. My work has always been a privileged touch to the lives of others and a process of learning to understand the human conditions. Through photography, I have learnt to connect and participate, yet step back at times to let some poignant moments speak. In a world inundated with visual imagery,  
I believe the traditional photograph can still inform, inspire and influence. - Tiet Ho
