Winning Photo

Strikingly detailed history in a face. What does it mean? That is what we find interesting in this photo. Very well captured with just the essential elements, in great quality and tones.

This image came about as a result of being invited to spend a day with Nadia ("Homeless Girl" Blog) and Mark Hovarth from Invisiblepeople.tv talking to homeless people in London, taking photographs and doing a video interview to get their story and wishes for the future. We met many interesting homeless people as part of a project to highlight the issues of being homeless in the UK. There is a wide diversity of people that end up sleeping rough on the streets. Peter has a problem with drink but was lucid, articulate and friendly when we met him. What ever issues and history Peter may have he needs help. Both Mark and Nadia who accompanied me on the day have been homeless but managed to get off the streets and turn their lives around and are now helping homeless people with the publicity they generate via their blog and website/s.
