He was taking photos of humans in their natural condition, poverty is a key theme through out his photos. (black and white photographer and used 35mm film camera)
They are educational type of pictures and is saying "can you live with this world" he wanted to make the rest of the world see how people were living and wasn't bothered in taking pretty photos.
His photos are revealing reality and wants people to know that they're still people that are living like this 40 years on in poverty in africa. All of his pictures are very emotional but still beautiful it shows that nothing really justifies the reasons for war or poverty. A photo that took one second to take shows a lot of meaning and what is happening in the world that most people didn't even realise.
A lot of people would come up to him and ask for their photograph to be took so that the rest of the world would understand how they are living and it would show the right message.
