Comments:
From a series of portraits of four men who at the time of taking the images were residing at the local homeless men’s shelter in Wagga Wagga. I spent time with each of these men individually, learning each of their amazing life stories and experiences. Through these images I wanted to convey the character and personality of each of these men but I also wanted to try to tell their story with the honesty of the face. Above all I tried to document these men as they are, I wanted to depict their real emotions while exposing an aspect of society (homelessness) that most people prefer to ignore.
