These images are part of a homeless series I have on my website. I chose these for this article because shooting homeless people is one of the most cliched things a photographer can do. However, I want to seperate mine from those and I want people to see integrity and meaning behind why I do things the way I do. I was questioned by a very important art critic once as to why my homeless pictures are exposed and processed like my other photos; should I not seperate the two so there is distinction? But that's the whole point, that there is no distinction.

If a person asks me how I go about shooting the homeless and approaching them so they can try themselves, then they aren't ready. They should be thinking of them as a 'normal' person they would ask to take a picture of. Of course it's always in the back of my mind, the same way we are all subconciously racist as a primal human behaviour, but if you think above it then you can learn a lot. Just as I find taking pictures in Varanasi exciting because it's a totally different world I am not used to, I find this unique subculture right near home interesting and worth exploring.
