No Fixed Address began with an ordinary photograph of a launderette at Portbury services, taken while I was homeless and continuing to work full time as a mechanic.
In this first-person photographic essay, I explore how documenting the small details of everyday life became a way of understanding my own circumstances. From making a bed in the back of a car to washing, cooking and carrying water, the photographs show a side of homelessness that often goes unnoticed.
The article also reflects on how photography changed the way I looked at those 23 nights and what stayed with me after I found somewhere to live.
