John Lee Photography

About John Lee

For over thirty years, John Lee derived a great deal of personal satisfaction seeking out and photographing the vistas of the Western United States. He spent the last fifteen years mastering traditional and digital photography and graphic design. In his inquiry he has come to experience a profound joy and deep appreciation of the natural world. By striving to make images that directly convey his vision, John hopes to illuminate and invigorate those who view his compositions.

Coming of age amid the tumultuousness of Berkeley in the sixties, John moved to Corvallis, Oregon while in his thirties. In 1998, he moved to Portland Oregon to devote himself to the art of photographic interpretation and to creating his current portfolio. John currently resides in New Zealand where he is working on a several projects investigating New Zealand's native birds.


My work

My work is an attempt to create images that exhibit more of what the eye sees rather than accepting the limitations of what the camera is capable of capturing. This may involve using multiple images to capture subtle highlight and shadow detail. It may require the use of standard photographic techniques such as unsharp masking, and color corrections. While my photography is aided by the use of digital processing, no tools or techniques are used in their composition that are unavailable to the traditional photographic studio.
