DOCUMENTARY:
The Human Behind the Photograph
The Human Behind the Photograph is a series of black and white photographs that feature portraits of people I meet living on the streets.
The human beings featured face challeges around homelessness, poverty, addictions, and mental health.
For backstory, I simply approach them, discuss the project I’m working on, offer if they would like to contribute, and if they would feel comfortable speaking about their story. They could simply tell me their story by telling me their name and we would build a connection from there. With their consent, I capture a portraiture of them.
My goal is to give a voice to those who don’t have one. By sharing their stories and capturing their true expressions and character through photography, my hope is for you to see the human behind the photograph.
