Benjamin Lee signage

Benjamin Lee's career has taken him from creative advertising in London (1974-1987), to working for international advertising agencies and magazines like Vogue, Elle, Esquire, Bazaar. Being base in Tokyo and beyond (1987-2018) has opened the door to more creative and experimental image making. Imaginative portraits of Yayoi Kusama, Frank Gehry, Picasso, Issey Miyake, Sayoko Yamaguchi, Haruki Murakami, Rei Kawakubo, and Kengo Kuma are few of the people featured in this exhibition. From 2011 to 2014, Benjamin photographed renowned Japanese artists, Yayoi Kusama, for a whole issue of discover Japan and created a special exhibition "Yayoi Kusama / the Universe of an Imagination" at Gyre Gallery in Omotesando. In addition to photographs, the show included sculptures and silkscreens of Kusama, which was supported by Louis Vitton. Benjamin has probably photographed Yayoi Kusama more than any other photographer!!!
