About Tracy Lee

Life Story in 400 words or less.

I started taking photos in high school. I started my college career as a Biology Major and quickly ditched that for Art when my freshman mid-term grades came in. I've been taking pictures ever since. During college I moved to the Washington D.C. area. I published my first web site in 1995.

I moved to an all-digital format in 2000. I have one husband, two kids and three dogs that keep me insanely busy. On the rare occasion that I have some free time I try to spend it behind - and in front of - the camera. I used to be a web g33k in my day job but quit to go back to school. Nowadays if I'm not taking photo for myself or one of my freelance clients I'm taking them for Pancake Mountain.

I used a Canon Digital Rebel 300D, before that it was a Minolta DiMage. I upgraded (2/07) to a Canon 30D. My studio is my living room that I transform into a workspace with some rolled paper backdrops, my single studio light, and a reflector. I use the self-timer. I shoot in the Raw, and I use Photoshop CS2 to process all the photos. I usually don't do any manipulation other than correcting levels, saturation, and curves.
