I was born 1974 in Seoul, South Korea, and is currently living outside Oslo, Norway. My photographs of grand landscapes, wild mountains, coastlines, forests, waterfalls and small details that are often overlooked in our busy, everyday life are results of my outdoor adventures and nature experiences.
What inspires me the most is the northern ambient light, especially the unique sub-arctic winter light. Light is the essence of a good landscape and nature photograph and for me light is more important than subject and I often spend long periods of time around the subjects just to be at the right place, at the right time to experience the magic of light. As the magic of nature is very difficult, if not impossible, to explain in mere words, photography have been a way of expressing myself for almost 12 years now. The areas that stays closest to my heart are located in the oldest national park in Norway; Rondane Nasjonalpark. That is where I feel most deeply connected to nature.

"I can't believe I haven't written a testimonial for Lee yet, but better late than never:) Lee's photos are amazing. His sense of aesthetics can be seen through the way he captures the luscious landscapes of Norway and other exotic locales that I'm pretty sure he have gone through many troubles to locate (just read some of his captions!...he's risk his life and limps to capture some of those gorgeous images:). What I love about his work is his technicality. He knows exactly how to capture them and to convey the landscapes in a way that I have yet to see other photographers capture. His landscapes are so sensual, ethereal, and soooo exquisite. I can't say enough great things about this guy! Check out his work and you'll feel nothing but awed!"

"There are many photographers on Flickr that I am inspired by and i could easily mention some of them here but that wouldnt be fair to those that i didnt mention. But I can say with certainty that Lee Sueng Kye is one of the photographers that would be at the top of my list. His work carries so much drama and beauty and a natural energy that means it everytime I look at one of his photos I can sit and look at it for such a long time and the longer I look the more I appreciate it and the skill of the photographer. I am honoured to be able to see his photos and I hope very much that I am one day able to produce work of such consistent quality and honest beauty."

"Lee works with light, and that's what makes him a photographer I can admire and respect.
His photos will demonstrate a passion for seeing things and bringing them to visual heights.
So many times I look at Lee's latest post and say. "Wow, I never would have thought to shoot it that way!"
I could go on in many ways, but I urge everyone to look through this portfolio of extraordinary work. More than just great ideas, the technical aspect of these photos is top notch. Lee puts himself into the work, and gets the most out of it. The best part is that he shares it with all of us!
Great job, Lee! I enjoy being your contact and glad to call you a friend!
Peace and happiness,
Jim"20th April, 2007
