Carrie Lees trained as a fine art photographer at St. Martins and the Black and White School of Photography where she immersed herself in traditional printing techniques, producing exhibition quality work. Her landscape and travel work have featured in many group exhibitions and in various Condé Nast publications.
Carrie subsequently worked as a successful portrait photographer for many years. She developed techniques that focused on the manipulation of natural light to create timeless images and printed using museum quality papers. More recently she has experimented with using these skills and the same traditional methods to create similar “portraits” of plants. She is drawn to the beauty and fragility of the botanical world and aims to produce simple but structural images to portray the living essence of the plants themselves. This can be seen both in her latest photographs and cyanotype prints.
