As a photographer, Lee is happiest shooting outdoors—taking in the sky, the surroundings, the colors and forms—and capturing the raw material that later, through digital process, he will finesse into images that transcend simple representation and become works of art that he hopes people will find moving, inspiring and noteworthy.

“I am forever fascinated by the variations provided by nature. Simple changes such as weather and seasons can transform a place in ways that the imagination cannot. Everywhere nature’s set and lighting designers are at work; and working with them is my pleasure and honor.”

Lee was born in Utrecht Netherlands, grew up in Northern California, is now a San Diego resident for over 35 years. Each place had a different look and feel; and, in some ineffable way, has influenced his aesthetic.
