Claim

An ongoing collaboration with the homeless men and women of Brighton. Claim (2018) seeks to satirise the notion of the 'glorified tramp' - looking past the cliches of trivial conversation and focussing on the issues of housing and support, or lack thereof. By mimicking the jargon of estate agent signage, the photographs aim to depict the fickle nature of society - often getting caught up in the fickle, selfish details. Due to the nature of paying these individuals for photographs, this project in itself lays within the very liminal shades of grey surrounding ethics and societal responsibilities.
