Patagonia Fall Colors 2026
Few places on the planet deserve a spot near the top of a photographer’s bucket list more than South America’s Patagonia region. Straddling the southern extremes of Argentina and Chile, this is a land of towering peaks, vast plains, enormous glaciers, and unfamiliar wildlife. In short, it’s a photographer’s paradise.

Meet Ken Lee: Photographer & Student of the Creative Process
I make pictures. All kinds of pictures but mostly nature and travel pictures. I'm passionate about making images but also the creative process that produces them. I've learned some key lessons on my journey as a photographer. Among the most important are that Seeing is a Skill, Creativity is a Muscle and The Photographer's Eye is something anyone can learn.
I also enjoy helping others grow as photographers. My favorite way of doing this is to take small groups of people to amazing places and work on both the craft and creative aspects of image making together. I call it a Whole Brain approach to photography. You don't have to go to amazing places to learn to See, but it's more fun that way ;-). Read More →
Sadly, my alma mater, the Brooks Institute of Photography, is no more. But while it existed, it was one of the premier institutions of photography education, and a few foundational assignments at Brooks achieved legendary status among the student body: The Grey Box. Black Glass. The Mission Shot. Each is deceptively simple at first glance, yet fiendishly designed to expose the slightest flaw in your understanding or execution of the knowledge they were meant to impart.
