Photography Club at Auckland City Mission Gives Homeless a Voice

Jonathan Lyon was a high powered advertising executive in the UK until he quit, moved to New Zealand, and started teaching homeless people photography.

Now he runs a camera club at Auckland City Mission, with the aim of giving homeless people a voice.

"I wanted to put the camera in the hands of the homeless people to let them be the author, and in control of their own story through the lens," he says.

For more information on the project, you can check out his Facebook page or his website This Is My Voice.
