Lee Jeffries, based in Manchester, United Kingdom, initially focused on photographing sporting events. A pivotal moment in 2008, prior to running the London Marathon, altered his photographic direction. An encounter with a young homeless girl prompted a change in his approach, transitioning from capturing candid shots to engaging with his subjects. This interaction led to him developing a deep connection with the homeless community, which subsequently became the central theme of his artistic endeavors.
Jeffries’ work is characterized by its intimate portrayal of people experiencing homelessness across Europe and the United States. He spends time getting to know each individual before asking permission to take their portrait, ensuring an authentic and respectful representation. This method has allowed him to create a body of work that aims to raise awareness and funds for the homeless. Professionally, Jeffries works as an accountant, pursuing photography in his free time.
Over his career, Jeffries has published several books, including “Homeless: the Exhibition” (2014), “Lost Angels” (2014), and “Portraits” (with a second edition also released), all contributing to his mission. His contributions to the art world have been recognized, including a solo exhibition at the Diocesan Museum of Milan in Italy in 2023. He also undertook the project of making portraits for the artwork of Metallica’s album “72 Seasons” (2023), further diversifying his photographic portfolio.
