The latest issue of Foam magazine, the international photography magazine based in Amsterdam, features a 16-page portfolio of photographs by Myoung Ho Lee, whose work first appeared in Lens Culture in July 2007.

From the biography in Foam:
Myoung Ho Lee is a student, lecturer and photographer based in Seoul, Korea. He attracted international acclaim when his series “Tree” was first published online by Lens Culture (www.lensculture.com) in July 2007. Within days, more than 200 other websites and blogs had reproduced his images and pointed to the original article and images in Lens Culture. The “buzz” continues today, with reproductions of his photographs gracing the covers and inner pages of many high-profile national and international print magazines (of all genres, including art, ecology, entertainment, home decorating, news, and men’s fashion), and more than 500 websites referring to his work. His photographs are in the collections of institutions and individual collectors in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.
Myoung’s “Tree” series has drawn references to diverse traditions in the history of photography, including landscape photography, anthropological field studies, studio portraiture, fashion, staged photography, cinematic projections, surrealism, and billboard advertising.
Lens Culture is thrilled with the success that Myoung Ho Lee is achieving with his young career. Congratulations!
We are also very happy to be able to offer three of his images for sale as signed, limited edition photographs. These fine art prints are "ridiculously" affordable at $500 each (about 315 euros!), especially in light of the fact that all of the larger sizes in the editions of Tree #1, #2 and #3 have been sold out. A limited edition of Tree #5 will become available later this month here at Lens Culture. Stay tuned for more incredible offers from internationally acclaimed photographers and other great emerging artists, as well.
