These images were taken during a whistle-stop visit to Qatar last weekend, all (apart from the supermarket shot) were taken inside residency compounds for migrant workers – mostly Nepalese, Sri Lankan and Indian. These guys' attitude to my presence was by far the most accepting I've come across – a refreshing change from the usual ladles of suspicion heaped upon photographers. What I saw of their living conditions ranged from basic to downright disgusting; considering the profits being reaped by the development firms for which they ultimately work this situation is both unacceptable and unnecessary.
