What do people on Earth dream about?

Photographer Trey Ratcliffe is famous for his amazing photographs of Japan and China. Today we bring you a selection of his photos "What they dream about and what they do", revealing people talking about their future. According to Trey, he loves to observe people, to find interesting faces. If Ratcliffe meets people who are interesting for him to shoot, but are going through hard times, he gives them a few dollars (or euros, or yens). The photographer also talks to his "models" about their lives. Ratcliffe claims that he can see the difference between people who are close to their dreams and those who are far from it.
