This series is dedicated to showcasing the unsung heroes of our society – the working class individuals who tirelessly work day and night to make our lives easier. These individuals are the backbone of any community, yet they often remain invisible among us. Despite working in some of the most challenging and unhealthy environments, they ensure we do not have to endure such conditions.Through my photographs, I hope to shed light on the lives and struggles of these individuals. I want to introduce my viewers to the people who make our daily lives possible, yet whose stories and experiences are often overlooked. I want to give these people the recognition they deserve, and highlight their contributions to society.To capture the essence of these individuals and their surroundings, I have utilized natural lighting to create a mood and convey emotion in my photographs. I have tried to use light in the most creative ways possible to add an ethereal quality to even the most ordinary of subjects. These photographs were not staged as I believe that authentic feelings can only be captured through authentic shots.I hope my viewers will appreciate the stories and experiences shared through this series and gain a deeper understanding of the working class individuals who keep our society running. I believe this series will be a tribute to these individuals and a reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
