Biography
Known as Lee Xiao-Jin in Chinese, Lee was born in China and raised in Taiwan. He majored in painting at the Chinese Culture College in Taiwan. Following graduation he moved to the United States to acquire his master degree in Fine Arts at the Philadelphia College of Art. He began his professional career as an art director in New York, and switched to photography in the late 70’s.
