STREET CHILDREN BRAZIL

After a trip to Brazil, I returned forever changed and exposed to the realisation that childhood poverty and deprivation existed at levels way beyond my comprehension. There was one thing I did recognise and found hauntingly familiar in the eyes of the street kids I saw and met: it was the loss of innocence.  

On returning home, I researched as much as I could. I came across the amazing work of CARF and the photos of Gregory John Smith, its founder. His images captured what I had recognised so well in the eyes of those children. I wanted to strip the photos back and accentuate the look. After many attempts, I believe I have managed to do just that.

A percentage profits raised from the reproduction of these images will be sent to CARF to assist them to help children survive the experience of living in poverty on the streets.
