Project Description

There is 8 million people live in or around NYC, and 60 thousands of them are homeless. Some of them grew up with out a family, some of them going through disasters either by natural or manmade. They are my final project.

I want take a series of photo of them. People who trying to survive in the most fancy city in the world.

 

Outcome

Part of the series will be in B&W, background will be where they live. Part of the series will be colored, the background is the whole city, background with full of color will be perfect.

I want a sense of contrast. They are fragile, they don’t know when they will meet another accident. But they may also be the toughest people in the City.
