photography
The majority of the images above, I have taken reference from the work of Lee Jeffries. Jeffries portrait project includes "220 pages of beautiful portraits, presented with related stories, which when combined, produce an incredibly immersive and emotional experience". I have chosen to explore and take reference from his work due to the direct link to my topic and ideas, as well as his work captures the vulnerability of the subjects, whatever emotion they may portray, which I aim to capture through a drawing.
