An amateur photographer from Manchester. He got a lot of attention since winning the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2011. All of his photographs are portraits. Most of the models are social outcasts. One of the most prominent features of his work is the use of hard and soft light.
“I took this shot last November – I was walking around Manchester when I noticed something about this guy’s eyes. There was something wrong with them, obviously, but there was a quality about them too… I try to get an almost religious feel to my shots and I think it comes through in this image, with the way the light falls on his face. Anyway, winning this prize is a huge honour.” Lee

His prize winning photograph "What are we?"
Some of his photograps remind me of sketch drawings.
Folds of the skin propably sharpened with a high pass filter.
Black and white photography speaks to me more than colour
photography. The emotions are sharper and more visible.
I imagine this granny as a baby eating cannibal.
Hands in the foreground. Photoshop in the end phase.
Lee Jeffries might be an amateur, but his photographs are more than just pictures. Almost every photograph has a story behind it. Misery and depression are the two words that can describe his photographs. What he tought me is that you don't have to be equipped with the best camera to make amazing photo shots.
