Childhood Series

Childhood is an ongoing street documentary project that began during my time as a mentor with PhotoVoice’s New Londoners Project (see Archive).  Throughout this series, I temporarily engage with the lives of children as they explore their environment.  Due to the structure of the societies (UK, Germany, Portugal, USA)  in which I photograph, each child inevitably meets boundaries that contrast with the ephemeral and limitless nature of childhood.  I seek to be led by the uninhibited spirit that moves through these children and to see the world from a perspective where boundaries blur and imagination is real.
