Hi there! I’m Jeff. I was going to write this in typical third party “make-yourself-sound-so-important-you-have-assistants-write-your-bio-because-you-obviously-couldn’t-be-bothered†fashion, but no one would believe I didn’t write my own bio, so I decided against it. I am interested in all things photo. I was drawn to photography at an early age, when I would steal my fathers Nikon FM and insist that posed family photographs were lame, and obviously undeserving of my talented shutter finger (I was a bratty 8-year old). I continued to enjoy and practice photography throughout high school, until one day during my senior year I decided that yes- this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I studied photography and filmmaking at Mason Gross, but I realized that while classical training is essential, if I wanted to truly develop (horrible pun intended), practical experience was more important to me. I co-founded the blur gallery in 2001- we’re a small but talented group of photographers, filmmakers, and graphic designers serving the New York & New Jersey metro area. Please check out my main portfolio here. If you’re a client (thank you!) and would like to access your photographs, please check here. I’ve had the great fortune of studying under some remarkable photographers and artists, but I’m always striving to improve- I started a photo blog because I wanted to challenge myself and to ensure I never drifted into mediocrity or complacency. I also wanted a new method of sharing some recent works and take advantage of the audience the interwebs can offer. I will be updating my blog and flickr at least once a week, so please visit and comment often! Thanks for reading! www.jeffleephoto.com www.blurgallery.com
