Lee Jeffries began his career as a sports photographer in Manchester. But a chance meeting with a homeless girl living in the streets of London changed his life forever. Following this encounter, he decided to make a series of raw portraits of homeless in black and white. The result is absolutely stunning and compelling.

Simply incredible. The depths of soul(?)… certainly a sort of mature innocence in these portraits almost brought me to tears when I studied them closely. Amazing photos, incredible people.

Ok, my previous post isn’t there because of the name mistype, I guess: What’d I say, now? Something like: incredible photos showing depths of soul and a type of mature innocence of sorts; almost brought tears to my eyes the longer I looked at those faces.

Thanks so much Lee. Really seeing and connecting with the eyes reveals the soul in us all.
Reminds me of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s “The First Circle” : “Sologdin’s blue eyes were just as steady, unyielding and inflexible as before. In their black pupils Yakonov saw his own large head.How odd it was, this small blue circle with the black spot in the middle, and beyond it the whole unfathomable universe of one man.”
