These are the four portraits I have completed so far of my homeless friends. Mental health and illness among the homeless is extremely common. And life expectancy of homeless people in the UK is just 43 for women and 45 for men. The project started as I go out most Sunday mornings and share an extra tray of cinnamon buns that I bake (I eat the first with my kids first). Over the months (and years) of doing this I became friends with a homeless chap called Jamie and I talked about my idea with him and we agreed he was going to be my first subject. However, he died suddenly in the summer of 2023. But his death prompted me to start the project.
