Lee became fascinated by the natural world and developed an interest in the visual arts at a very young age. He started out sketching and painting in nature, and used photography as an aid to help him in the field. When he reached his teens, photography won out to become Lee’s major passion in life.
Lee has spent many years studying animal behaviour, natural habitats and field locations. This gave him a firm grounding in nature photography.
He became a professional photographer in 1989.
In 1990 he qualified with The British Institute for Professional Photography.
In 1994 with The Master Photographers Association and in 1997 he became
a Craftsman with The Guild of Photographers.

The Workshops were run at various top nature locations around the UK, and this brought Lee to his favourite location of all – Shetland.
He has now taken up residence in what he considers “without a doubt the best location for nature photography in the UK”.
Lee provides professional guidance in a relaxed and down to earth fashion.
He tailors his Holidays and Workshops to the ability of those attending, be they beginner or advanced.
Having worked hard to attain his skills, Lee can empathise with any photographer,
no matter what their ability.
