entry description
1in69 is a web-based project dedicated to the homeless people of Brighton. According to a research conducted in the U.K, 1 in 69 people at Brighton and Hove is homeless. As part of this project, I walked across the streets of Brighton and asked homeless people to reveal themselves. I took some pictures of them in their environment, interviewed them in order to hear their stories and aspects of being homeless and then I bought and gave them 8 disposable cameras so they will document their lives. I did not give any specific instructions rather than to bring me the camera back in a week.about the photographer
Hello! I'm Amit, from Israel. Started shooting at the age of 16(~) and became addicted soon as I got my first SLR camera (Nikon EM). My favourite types of photography are urban and documentary, I like to catch these special moments, know different cultures and travel around the world. Hope you'll enjoy my photos and feel free to criticize - I believe that's the best way to improve. * If you like to get one of these pictures printed, let me know :) *back to gallery
