Lee Whitehead, a 32 year old, who grew up in the South West of England in St Ives, Cornwall.

Lee grew up in and around the water and along with his experience in sailing explains why at present he specializes in Marine Sports Photography. In 2003 Lee became the official photographer for Falmouth Week which runs annually in August.

Following on from this event he was asked to photograph a number of other sailing events and in 2004 will be on the water shooting at 6 National / International events and a number of regional events. Photolounge is mainly aimed at the sailing fraternity and it's image search facility enables sailors that compete in these evnets to easily find and purchase images of themselves, friends, family or boats they like.

Lee came in to photography late and it's only in the last couple of years that he is trying to make photography his career. Until recently sailing itself was his career, either as an instructor, a salesman for sailing companies or as a professional sailor. Unfortunately back problems forced a change of plan and it was at this time he went to Truro College to do a Foundation Course in photography.

This course opened a whole new aspect of photography as yet untried and and it was based on these areas that the decision to go on to University was based. At present Lee is in his first year of a three year degree at Falmouth College of Arts. Within the Folio sections of this site are a sample of the work he does for the course and also for his portfolio.
