location homeless



This was taken outside Manchester railway station. this guy has been homeless for the past three years, he has
 been sleeping in shop doors and bus shelters.

He didn't want his face showing when i took the photography this why photo was taken from the side.

I was rushing a bit in the second picture thats why the image look exposed next time i will make sure   the camera is kept still.

I think the first one is a lot better because you can see the image clearer.
This guy had become homeless after leaving the army due to mental illness, i.e due to not being able to live in a house with four walls. he has her drug addiction and has for a long time.
I told the guy to stand up so i can get a full image of him. because i wanted a picture of his clothes.
i will get a close up one next time so you can see his face.


 
I took this photo from a long distance. he has been living rough on the streets for almost a year because of drug addiction. 
I 
a man sleeping outside of a old shop entrance. he has been sleeping rough  for 5 years because of alcohol addiction. you never know it could happen to anybody.

2.transport-  train or bus to get to the location
3. once at the location find the subject your working on

I got inspired on homeless photography because of the photos I  researched on the internet.
There are different kind of homeless people old, young and various  reasons why many people are on the streets.
I am going to work towards different types of photos to put towards my canvas creation to make people aware of homeless.
I got my ideas from homeless  people selling Big Issue Magazine on the streets. I have witnessed this  while going into the city centre. For  example   people are begging and sleeping rough out side shop doors.
I aim to target the community to make  aware of the  homeless people on the streets in this day and age.

I aim to use landscape photos,  some in black and white and also in  different sizes.

I am going to use manual setting on my camera.

I am going to work on canvas and framed photos.

27th of May is my target completion date.
