Homeless, 2012


This exploration of work is aimed to produce a documentary series to capture the inner struggles and perceptions people have toward homelessness. This idea was based on the concept of human experience and emotional connections.  I have use photography as a means to document the world around me. I enjoy taking pictures that call attention to things that other people overlook. My interest comes from ideas about the way people live their lives within a contemporary society. In a way these images are constructed with the intent and purpose to comment on preconceived ideas of what its like to be homeless and undermines this nostalgic pre-conception we already associate towards these people.
