"In all my time photographing on the streets of cities around the world, I never took photos of the people who called those streets home. For most of us, they were a public place, the gap between A and B, but for someone without the luxury of privacy, these streets were their private space—a space I respected.

It was a chance meeting while my camera and I chased possibility down a street, through an alley, behind a walkway, when I heard a voice that changed everything for me.

'Do you want to take my photo?'."

A photographic journey spanning over four years, from 2019-2023, it captures a very unique time in human history from an unguarded and often unseen perspective.

"They are the uplookers, looking up for help and connection with hope, with varied
optimism. We are the uplookers, looking up because looking down is too confronting.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"People in the modern world don't see god because they don't look low enough." - Carl Jung
This is Uplooker."
