Portraits of Homeless People by Lee Jeffries

Ryan Nance July 9, 2013

Safe-taught photographer Lee Jeffries is a Manchester-based accountant. 

Lee on how he started his black and white portrait series after being told off harshly by a young homeless woman he was trying to shoot on the streets of London:

"I was incredibly embarrassed and was faced with a decision – walk away, or go and apologize. I chose the latter and her story and subsequent images I took of her changed my approach to street photography forever.”
