He has written a book about his remarkable journey called: From Park Bench to Park Avenue. Alexia Webster is a photojournalist from Johannesburg. After an experience in a refugee camp in Kenya, she founded ‘Street Studios,’ a portable photo booth that she has since set up in refugee camps all over the world.
