A new exhibition highlights the issue of homelessness through the lens of those directly affectly
Homeless people are rarely heard or seen in public life.
What we know of them is mostly hearsay: conveyed through figures, media reports and images of squalor. So what does everyday life look like when you end up on the streets?
In Sight, a new photo exhibition launched in Dublin today, tells the stories of homeless people living in and around the capital from their own perspective.
The 45 men and women were trained by award-winning photographer Des Byrne and tasked with documenting their daily routines over the course of 12 months.
The resulting photos capture humour, sadness, love, fear, excitement and worry - emotions familiar to people in every walk of life.
