Sydney - Homeless

This is Bruce.
He describes himself as a " Traveller".
He told me about his Grandad coming over from england on the boats that took 18 months to get to Australia.
He used to work in the mines in Western Australia.
He kept on saying to me that i should see the world, as there is so much to see - good advice to everyone..!




Sydney - Homeless

This is Jack and Shaun.
They are best mates, they are thankful to have each and are alway joking with each other.
Jack is the guy with the Australian hat on - he had lovely energy and was like your Grandad !
Told me alot of cricket - not a fan of the sport myself but i was enjoying the stories he had.
Shaun was a little under the weather - had a cough that lasted forever.
He was laid off at work and then everything went downhill - he left it at that..!!
He was telling me about all of his tattoos which i was fascinated by as i have a passion for them.




Best mates...!

He did not want me to tell his story....




Sydney - Homeless

This is Nathan.
He became homeless after being in hospital and not being able to pay for his flat.
Because of being ill he also lost his job.
He begs on the streets to buy a room and food for each night and to have a shower.
He said what gets him by each day is "smiling"

WELCOME.....

Hi
Welcome to " Everyone is Someone"
My name is Alexander Beer and I am a fashion photographer.
www.alexanderbeerphotography.com
I have started this site to document homeless people of the world.
We live in an increasingly populated world - where so many people are made homeless for lots of different reasons.
Homeless people seem to be ignored all over the world no matter what country you are in.
These people were somebody's mum or dad, brother or sister, son or daughter.
They are becoming invisible people......
Everyone is SOMEONE.
My plan is to photograph homeless people wherever I am in the world. Chat with them about their story and upload on here.
I will exhibit these images with their story as portraits and give money back to homeless charity:

Thank you for your support and interest.
