He experimented, trying surrealism, modern decorative styles, hyper realism, developing "Lyrical Landscape" - his true love in art.

Artists Discipline: Photography                             

Born in Seoul, Korea in 1957 Mike Lee has always had a love of photographing Mother Nature and capturing all she has to offer. He is a self-taught landscape photographer who specializes in the photography of Southwest America. The incredible light and color you see in his photos is a result of repeatedly revisiting locations during times of sunrise or sunset. It is during these times when one is most likely to experience what Mike likes to call the “Magic Moment.” It usually lasts for only a matter of minutes and sometimes even seconds, but when it happens he is there, waiting and ready to capture the moment.

 

After moving to America, Mike got his first job at Color Inc. in Glendale, Calif. as a computer systems operator, working for Walt Disney Productions for 11 years. Once he left Disney, Mike opened his own professional photo lab in Hollywood, Calif. and has operated it for the last 20 years.

 

Mike is very faithful and dedicated to the art of photography. In the last two and a half years, he has traveled over 150,000 miles in his car in the name of art- searching for his next amazing photo. Every Thursday he teaches a landscape photography course for the beginners at his lab while constantly continuing his own education.

 

He currently lives in La Canada Flintridge, Calif.with his wife Linda, three daughters Cathy, Karen, Jenny and son Justin. Mike shoots with a Linhof 617 medium format film camera and a Hasselblad 39 megapixel digital camera. These cameras allow him to capture great amounts of detail and color in his photographs. He does not use any colored filters when shooting nor adds artificial colors to his photos during post-production.

 

Over the years Mike has created buzz in groups of elite collectors, now he is offering limited editions of his works for the first time ever!
