Lee Yee interviewed by
Sylvie Deneuve, Paris, 2014
I see my photos as an ongoing
graphic novel of New York; a novel
always in process, always expanding.
I'm a documentarist in spirit, engaging flexibly with style. I freely borrow and adapt, from bauhaus to social realism to cellphone snapshots.
In the end, though, it's more about my
encounters with the city's amazing
subject matter, polyglot, multifarious and disordered...New York itself.
I'm basically a tourist, a visitor.
Neither journalist nor artist.
