Welcome

Welcome to " Everyone is Someone"

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: http://www.crisis.org.uk Thank you for your support and interest.

Photography by Alexander Beer

We’ve worked with photographer Alexander Beer on many occasions and his vision and creativity is evident in whatever project he is working on.

He has recently started a brand new project that aims to document the plight of homeless people all over the world through photography. As Alex observes, “We live in an increasingly populated world, where so many people are made homeless for lots of different reasons. These people seem to be ignored even though they are real individuals.”

The message that ‘Everyone is Someone’ is at the heart of the project and the images that Alex is accumulating are being posted on a special blogsite. He plans to exhibit the
images eventually as well as publishing a photo book that can give money back to Crisis, the homeless charity.

  

 

Homeless in Tokyo

Being homeless in Tokyo is different than in other parts of the world. There, the homeless are people who have lost their job, their company failed or they were earning too little money to pay the rent for a normal house.

Because of that, they feel ashamed in front of their families and prefer to live alone, rather than depend on their relatives’ money. They live on the streets, under freeways and parks. The shelters they make are made of boxes, cupboards, wood and bamboo, with sheets that shield from the rain.

They look like mini villages.
