About Lee Manning

I am currently living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and am very active in the city’s exceptionally famous art community. I was recently selected by New Mexico’s Acclaimed Artist Program to hang my work in conjunction with the state’s Art in Public Places series. I was one of ten Santa Fe photographers juried into the first Asian International Photography Fair, a part of Art Singapore 2009. I have won several awards, curated numerous photography exhibits, and conducted photography workshops in Italy, Colorado, and New Mexico. I have published one photography book, and am working on two more for release early next year.

I have been a photographer for over forty years, and when light and shadows accent a scene in such a way that makes me want to photograph it, I still get excited about the outcome. My style of fine-art, portrait and nude photography is classic, inspired by the extraordinary combination of available light and shadow that allows a naturalness to evolve throughout a shoot. This naturalness in my nude and portrait photography is also the result of trust between me and the model as I encourage the model to allow moods and expressions to flow freely. This is seen in my photographs as contentment, satisfaction, ease, thoughtfulness, or playfulness. In an environment such as this, poses cease to be poses but become a genuine conveyance of feeling shown in the model’s face and body posture.
