Quality: form, materials, and technique

The main subject figure in this image is a man sitting behind a locked store, begging
passers-by for money. He is hungry and filthy at the same time because he lacks a home
and family to care for him. This demonstrates how this man is coping with the pandemic
and dealing with such obstacles and suffering in his life.
The man, as well as the wall and the floor, appear to be in white, gray, and black, which
enhances the photo's realism and produces a good interpretation and story. Looking at
the shot, the size of the subject and its placement complement each other to create a
good and realistic image.
Photography was chosen as the preferred medium for the subject matter. The camera
captured and portrayed the status of the individual and his situation, which included
hardships and suffering due to living with the epidemic.

COVID-19 has been prevalent and spreading continuously. The province of Aklan was
placed under enhanced community quarantine on March 22, 2020, affecting all
businesses, workers, and residents in the province. Those who are homeless and have
nowhere to go during the pandemic are among the most afflicted. Those who lived on
the streets, under bridges, and in public areas. They are the ones who are now at
greater risk of acquiring the virus. Despite the risks, they continue moving to get food
and money for their daily needs. We are all affected by the pandemic, but fortunately,
we have everything we need to live. Those homeless people who rely solely on the
generosity of others, on the other hand, are in desperate need of attention and
immediate assistance. Help them because no one should be left behind in the fight
against this pandemic.
