Lee Brantley
Can’t see the forest for the trees? Sometimes, actually, we don’t see the trees for the forest. I feel compelled to create art, with photography being the medium of choice. Visually, life is a collection of rectangular graphic compositions such as the old treasure hidden by the new construction, a wonderful surprise down a hidden alleyway and that ramshackle barn that demands I turn the car around! I have has discovered that a neglected church on a backroad can hide an entire “congregation” of colorful treasures and the graffiti under a bridge contains true artistry. I sees things in shop windows that contain a different message. All these things, plus old trains, overgrown trails and much more, offer me an opportunity to create my personal photographic images of “eclectic details”.
I am originally from Montgomery, Alabama and hold a BFA from Auburn University. My entire career was spent in management of local television stations and I retired in 2013. Photography has been my artistic passion for 40 years. Currently my images are on display at Gallery on Tenth and Two Sister’s Gallery in Columbus, Georgia.
I have many awards and ribbons from various shows and have had one-man shows at The Sautee-Nacoochee Gallery and The Rankin Center for Photography in Columbus.
All images are available for purchase at various pricing, depending on the size of the image requested. Contact me at leebrantley99@gmail.com for questions or comments.
