Photo essay - changing perceptions on poverty and wealth

[sammy39]

Iam looking to do a photo essay (5 photos) on the wealthy and those in poverty but do it so that it changes peoples perceptions on how people view these 2 different groups of people....I was thinking of getting a wealthy family and a family in poverty and shooting them throughout a day and seeing what i get....I need to have it before the 20th march...
Can anyone help me? Are you wealthy or not so much but willing to tell your story and change peoples perceptions on how they view you or do you know someone who would like to help? Or do you know where i can find people/families like this?
Post me a comment here or contact me at

both wealthy and poor should be easy to find - hello magazine (or look for posh cars) for rich and any city centre for the poor ("big issue")

but why attempt to change perception? document and understand yes - record accurately yes - but attempt to distort?

Poverty is easy to find, Big Issue sellers, the homeless etc.
I spotted this old lady helping herself from the bins at Borough Market:

The stall holder spotted her and filled her shopping trolley with fresh food.


Rich is a little harder unless you're in London i.e. outside Harrods, knightbridge etc. Easy to spot posh cars, well dressed people getting in/out etc.

Nice, the gesture and the photo. Well captured

Every now and then something happens to reinforce my belief in human nature.
