Golden Hour Photography Contest | Veria Refugee Camp

I initially travelled to Greece to help my mother out while she was involved in the setup of distribution points on a refugee camp. I booked for 2 weeks from June 28th 2016…fast forward over a year later to August 2017 and I was just leaving Greece after the “2 weeks” of helping. I took this shot near the start of 2017, it holds a lot of meaning to me regarding my leaving of the camp. It was not easy to do and even though I followed the right process, I was replaced etc…I feel like I let the residents down somehow. Most have moved on from the camp now too, but still that feeling sits heavy in my stomach, as it does when I think about how much I focus on myself right now than others.

That’s hopefully due to change soon, stay tuned!
