About

Joyce Lee is a photographer based in Los Angeles. She received her B.F.A. in Photography from the School of Visual Arts. Shortly after graduating, Joyce was chosen as a finalist at the Hyères Festival of Fashion & Photography, a competition held annually in the South of France recognizing new voices in contemporary photography.

Since then, she has continued to develop her dynamic use of color, light, and thoughtful composition that has caught the attention of clients ranging from Hermès to The New York Times to Google. With her focus on narrative and realism in still life photography, Joyce’s work blurs the line between found and created moments.
