Where Children Sleep: Revealed Shocking Stories About Children Around the World

James Mollison, a documentary photographer from England believes that a child’s bedroom can best describe about what sort of life he/she led. “Where Children Sleep” was actually a project by Mr. Mollison undertaken to represent needy children around the world. He managed to photograph a diverse cross section of children around the world to show inequalities between their lives.

He captured a portrait of each child along with his/her bedroom from the U.S.A, England, Brazil, Mexico, Italy and the West Bank, Senegal, Nepal, Kenya, India and China.  All these striking photographs were published in Mollison’s book, “Where Children Sleep” exposing some shocking stories about each child.

James Mollison describe the condition of child’s dreamless sleep in these words, “I hope the book gives a glimpse into the lives some children are living in very diverse situations around the world; a chance to reflect on the inequality that exists, and realize just how lucky most of us in the developed world are,”
