Poor Man's Living Room

What does it mean to call the concrete city streets your home?

Poor Man's Living Room is an evocative photography book and social documentary that turns an honest lens on the unseen street dwellers of Trinidad and Tobago. Combining raw, striking imagery with deeply reflective narrative essays, this book pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of poverty, substance addiction, and mental illness. Author Azriel Bahadoor brilliantly frames these local struggles within the global United Nations' SDG 1 (No Poverty) framework, exploring the multidimensional nature of social exclusion and housing insecurity.

Moving, powerful, and profoundly relevant, this work serves as both a mirror to society and an urgent call for collective empathy. Step inside a world that society too often chooses to ignore, and discover what happens when art meets purpose.
