Beginning as a skateboarder exploring abandoned houses, Jeffrey Stockbridge turned to capturing the remnants of past lives, which evolved into collaborative portrait of those struggling with addiction and homelessness in Kensington. His project, 'Kensington Blues', aims to humanise and share the stories of those often marginalised by society through photography and personal accounts. Their candid discussions about addiction, the societal stigma they face, their personal struggles and their hopes, emphasise the importance of challenging preconceived notions. They illustrate the power of photography to capture moments of vulnerability, growth, and the complex reality of addiction beyond stereotypes.
