When I am not photographing weddings I am usually working on a story. I feel my mission in life is to help give a voice to those people who do not have power. Sugarcane workers in Guatemala suffer immensely. They are paid slave wages, and have very little rights. Someday I hope to go back and finish this story.
Sugar cane workers in Guatemala earn their pay by piecework. The younger men make up to $20. per day while the old men average $5.00 per day.
The cane fields are burned before harvest coating the cane with black sticky soot.
