Living on the Big Island, Sarah Lee is incessantly glued to camera viewfinders, swim fins, and the sea. Her passion for photography, particularly underwater and surf photography was shaped by a childhood where she was constantly playing in and around the ocean. As a long-distance swimmer and surfer, her strength as an athlete in the ocean allows her to capture swimmers and surfers in a carefree and light-hearted way.
"My aim in making photos is to capture and accentuate the beauty in what surrounds me,” says Lee. “Photography to me is a mode of visual problem solving and a way to perpetuate the stoke, whether it be above the surface or below."
