Lee Jeffries

Based in Manchester, Great Britain. Homeless people became a subject of his art, after initially photographing sporting events.
Lee Jeffries;"Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait."





These haunting, black and white portraits are full of emotional expression, dark and intense.
"I can’t change these people’s lives," Jeffries told to Time Magazine. "I can’t wave a magic wand but it doesn’t mean I can’t take a photograph of them and try to raise awareness and bring attention to their  plight."
His models are wrinkled and scared, the detailed images are telling the story of these homeless models.
