Local Photographer Jeffrey Stockbridge Sings The Kensington Blues Through Photography
Jeffrey Stockbridge is a local photographer living in Philadelphia. He is known for his work entitled Kensington Blues, which is a series of portraits looking at the people who spend time along Kensington Avenue in North Philadelphia.
In an accompanying essay to Kensington Blues, Stockbridge writes:
“The focus of my work is portraiture. I want to tap into the state of mind of those who live in Kensington. I am interested in how people survive the neighborhood and themselves. I ask residents to share their stories and I record the audio or have them write in my journal.”
