Faces by Lee Jeffries

After an accidental acquaintance with a homeless girl that was huddled under a sleeping bag in a doorway in London’s Leicester Square a former accountant Lee Jeffreys (Lee Jeffries) began photographing the humilated and offended in the cities of Europe and America.

Manchester born photographer Lee Jeffries has marveled professional photographers, amateurs and passers-by with his honest, compelling and raw portraiture. His strength not only lies in his use of stark contrasts but in capturing the humanity of his subjects. When we view them, far from finding their age repulsive our own fears, anxieties, and scars are instantly reflected onto them like a mirror. We cannot help but stare at ourselves in admiration.
