These photos are part of an independent documentary project I was working on in Haiti between 2018-2020. As during one of my three weeks-stay my camera was stolen on the second day, a lot of these photos were taken on a simple, Samsung S6 phone. But even when I had a camera in my bag, I ended up using my phone to take photos - to avoid being seen as one more journalist who came to take pictures for foreign foreign news outlets of NGOs. I was not working for a magazine or an NGO I was working with a Haitian journalist, Junior St Vil. It was, and it still is, our project.
The photos won several awards at photography competitions in 2020 and 2021.
