Some Famous People called Lee Chee
Lee Fook Chee
Lee Fook Chee was a Singaporean photographer based in Hong Kong since 1947. Lee worked intermittently as a journeyman photographer in The Peak from the summer of 1948 until sometime in 1955 when he instead started selling pictures of famous landscapes and street of Hong Kong to the tourists. With the popularization of colour photography Lee's black and white picture started to look outdated and revenue from sales reduced. After trying to sell his pictures in other spots, eventually he gave up the business of photography and run with his wife a grocery shop in Wan Chai from 1961 onwards.
Around 2003 Lee return to The Peak for financial reason to sell new prints of his old 1950's pictures. Following the suggestion of Laurence Lai, a Hong Kong photographer and gallery owner, he started to sell as well colour contemporary prints of the same landscapes he had photographed before, in order to highlight the changes the city had experienced since
Chance encounter in 2010 with author Edward Stokes eventually led in 2015 to the publication by The Photographic Heritage Foundation of a book with his pictures. Unfortunately, Lee died in 2012 before seeing the book published.
