Faces of the forgotten: How haunting portraits of homeless people changed photographer's view forever

 
Lee Jeffries is a photographer from Manchester. He used to make sports photographs until he encountered a young, homeless girl. This changed his perception on both homeless people and his own photography. Ever since the homeless are the subject of his art.
The homeless rarely find themselves in the limelight, but amateur photographer Lee Jeffries has made them the focus of his work.
He’s produced a haunting set of black-and-white portraits of people living on the streets of Europe and the U.S.
Every face is shown in incredible detail and is full of emotion.
