24 Hour Project

In 2018, I took part in extraordinary 24 Hour Project, documenting street life in Lyon. The goal is to spend 24 hours in the streets, taking pictures and publishing every hour one single photo.

Group portrait of six people, one man and five women
Team Lyon 2018

Photographers join from all cities around the world. They document humanity around the world in one single day sharing stories from their own cities. Together we focus on global issues, help raise awareness and take action.

Every year there is a different cause to defend. On 2018 the cause was Empower women and the collected money was donated to Shakti Vahini in India.

To know more about the project you can visit 24 Hour Project web site.
