I am a very emotional person to begin with, but you have to try and control yourself. If you start thinking about what is happening - especially when photographing people who are suffering - and get too involved, you stop thinking as a journalist and you don't take the picture. It's a psychological trick, learning self-control. You have to keep reminding yourself why are there.
