About This Project
"Off the Streets" is a photographic and documentary project created by Nic Bothma to humanize the experiences of people living on the streets of Cape Town. Through intimate portraits and first-hand interviews, this project shares the stories, struggles, and resilience of individuals often overlooked by society.
More than just photographs, these are conversations that challenge stereotypes and reveal the complex humanity of people navigating homelessness in one of South Africa's major cities.
