Nicole Lee
After happily abandoning a production career in Los Angeles, Nicole Lee returned to her hometown of Pittsburgh to attend the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Having several of her photographs banned by the school president inspired Nicole to find another outlet for her "alternative" work. This led her to Blue Ruin. Nicole currently works and resides in Maryland, loves shooting naked and fun people, but also yearns to do portraits of everyone she sees, because, as she says, "Really, doesn't everyone deserve one really great or hot photo of themselves?"
