My Story

DSC05283.jpg

I'm Alexandra Lee, a Malaysian visual storyteller and photographer based in Tokyo. I grew up loving animals and for the longest time, I aspired to be a veterinarian. Back then, any visits to the zoo meant that I always had a single-use camera with me. Over time, however, my fear of worms got the best of me which meant becoming a vet was impossible. I figured handling a camera was a more comfortable option. Pretty much right out of high school, I began capturing more 'moments'. I was driven by my love and desire to create something that lasts and the thrill of telling stories through images. It's a pretty wonderful feeling when you finally find the one thing you want to do for the rest of your life.

​

What makes my style unique is that I am experienced in capturing candid moments in a space where you can be yourselves. My approach is unobtrusive while giving gentle direction only when it's needed. I'll ensure you feel comfortable in front of the lens while creating a fun session together.

On April 1st 2023, I held my first portrait exhibition in Tokyo. I was 36 weeks pregnant then! The theme was 'POSSESSIONS' and had 50 portraits of people displayed showcasing something they cherish. 

​

'POSSESSIONS' explores each individual's most memorable object. It could be something they have or given that has a story waiting to be told. These 50 individuals were photographed in both Malaysia and Japan over a period of 10 months. They are from all walks of life, different races and ethnicities, and various backgrounds.

​

In the same year, a similar exhibition was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in December.
