Artist Bio

The pictures tell Lee's story. From western landscapes, to portraiture- underwater, magazine covers, weddings, calendars, and South Pacific landscapes - Lee has given his life to photographic imagery.

Lee's first 35mm camera came via his father 50 years ago, a man who was a reporter/photographer. Since 1982 Lee has made his living with cameras. Lee has published South Pacific and western landscape images and calendars for 20 years now. Lee has a passion for capturing weddings, portraits and those special occasions. Lee's images have been used on web sites, magazine covers and calendars and have been published in the millions (by published image count). From the Minister of State, to the Dep. Premier of Alberta, his clients include Bayer Animal Health, Western Producer Magazine; Alberta Beef magazine; Cargill Nutrition; Canadian Cattleman Magazine; Cattleland Feedyards Ltd; Westway Feeds; Doc Seaman; Farm Credit Corporation; Ian Tyson; John Scott Motion Picture Animals; along with hundreds of other corporations and individual web sites, too numerous to even catalogue.

Many of the images you see have been taken with either 35mm Zeiss lenses or 645 medium format cameras and prime Zeiss lenses. In 2000 Lee added digital cameras to his gear. Today he still shoots film along with Canon full frame sensors and prime (fixed focal length) lenses. Wedding and portraiture photography are most rewarding. There are no situations that Lee cannot handle in Alberta's climate. From infants, portraits, weddings, underwater imagery to volcanoes, wranglers or clouds, his image repertoire is expansive. Lee sells stock images and does custom photography for clients who want that special moment: land, aerial, or water captured- Lee will accommodate you.
