Inspired by the work of British photographer Lee Jeffries, she has been concentrating on high-contrast portraiture. One of her photographs was awarded first place in the Blue Mountain Foundation of the Arts Juried Art Show. She was recently the subject of a mini-documenary that aired on CBC's 'The National'. Leah is thankful for the mentorship of National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore. Without his encouragement, she says, this book would have only been an idea. Through her photography, Leah wishes to help humanize the homeless and draw attention to their plight. She lives in Collingwood, Ontario, with her parents, Sara and Tim, and her older brother, Daniel.\u003cbr\u003eTo see more of Leah's photography, visit her website at ldenbokphotography.com....\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39827246252147,"sku":"9781525513091","price":49.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_cbe7874c-1b3e-4374-ad44-84a54e8d0e1d.jpg?v=1644563519","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/nowhere-to-call-home-volume-i-photographs-and-stories-of-the-homeless-9781525513091","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
