About the Author

Jim Lee is a London-based photographer and film director. After working as a fashion photographer in the late sixties he switched to film directing, creating hundreds of commercials as well as working on several full-length feature films. His earlier photographs form part of the permanent collection at the V&A, with additional photographs in the archives of the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow. A book of his life's work, Jim Lee / Arrested, was launched in 2012 alongside an exhibition of photographs at Somerset House. Lee's work is regularly exhibited at galleries around the world. He occasionally chooses to collaborate on imaginative campaigns but now pursues his own creative projects, mainly in feature films.
