Kacee Rigsby submits Lee Jeffries

Lee Jeffries is a self taught photographer who stumbled upon his passion/career for photography by coming across a homeless woman and hearing her story. He continued from that day forward taking their photos to tell their stories and raise money.

His images are a mix of black and white images as well as color. They show amazing detail in these faces, telling stories with each wrinkle or lack there of. Their eyes stare right through the photo and into yours. The way he takes and edits these photos seems to be done with such a purpose to tell each story in as much detail as you can, just by showing the affects of the world on their faces.

The black and white images show each speck of dirt and give enormous detail to the subject. Some have a sadness to them, some show longing in their eyes, but they all show these incredibly human traits that we may not always speak of. The back grounds of a lot of these photos are plain black, which pulls our eyes into the subject so that we may not focus on anything but. He is telling us exactly where he wants us to focus.
