Homeless World Cup.
I was hosted by the HWC (Homeless World Cup), a charity fighting homelessness, to document the behind-the-scenes moments of the games in Sacramento, California in July 2023. With anticipation building, the Hornet Stadium at California State University was the setting where dreams were chased, and stories from past lives were shared. Teams from around the world showcased their talent and determination. Work from this assignment was shared widely in publications such as The Guardian and The Big Issue.
