Homeless: Hidden in Plain Sight

“To be homeless is to endure the paradox of being exposed and invisible, of being at home everywhere and nowhere.”

They may sleep at the end of your street, in the car park or in the train station. You might walk past them every day. But have you ever wondered how they got there?

A compelling photographic series, shot on the streets of Sydney, Australia, Homeless: Hidden in Plain Sight invites us to look into the eyes of people living without housing.

Armed with a camera, human rights lawyer Livingston Armytage plunges into the fabric of the city, emerging with a raw, honest, and deeply humane portrait of life for those with no place to call home.

The people in these photos could be any of more than one billion across the world - low, and now medium income workers, veterans, single parents and young people.

Livingston Armytage aims to use photography as a documentary tool to portray a reality that can affect the viewer in ways that words cannot. The text is edited and introduced by Rosamund Brennan.

Homeless: Hidden in Plain Sight is co-published in conjunction with T&G publishing, a noted photographic publisher based in Australia and Italy.
