Photojournalist Charlie Mahoney documented the lives of African immigrants living rough on the streets in Barcelona for his Living in the Shadows project.

When I saw Richard Wainwright’s Counting the Cost of Gold story on the BBC website, I was curious to find out more about the photographer and his trip to the Ituri District of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This African country has been in the grip of war for many years, and I wanted to find out a little more about how Richard got involved with the story and the practicalities and hardships of working in such a remote and dangerous place. I asked him to participate in an interview, and he kindly agreed.
