The term “homelessness” may also include people whose primary nighttime residence is in a homeless shelter, in an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

With my “Homeless Series”, I have attempted to portray the gross poverty of the dispossessed with genuine respect, and to produce images that are a true reflection of them.
