In this very heart-warming series of photographs, photographer Lee Jefferies’s perception to the homeless changed after a life-changing incident after which he started photographing and getting to know these lovely people.

Here’s an excerpt from Lee describing these photographs:

The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in the United States: «Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait.»
