Interview: Powerfully Raw Portraits of Homeless People by Lee Jeffries
From sorrow and despair to warmth and dignity, Manchester, England-based photographer Lee Jeffries documents the expressive faces of homeless people in powerfully humanizing portraits. Using only his camera, natural light, and a small handheld reflector, he illuminates incredible details that reveal some of the wear of life on the streets. Without exploitation or pretense, the photographer spends time with each subject to create a personal connection before capturing a portrait.
