From the artist
A half-century of fieldcraft — and the moments that made it matter.
For more than fifty years I have worked as a fine art and editorial photographer, concentrating on wildlife and the conservation of our natural world. I have been fortunate to see my view of that world embraced by collectors of every kind, from large corporate collections to the halls of Congress.
One of my proudest accomplishments is having my work hang in one of the largest and most prestigious veterans’ hospitals in the United States. As the project director told me, “Your art adds beauty to the lives of the veterans of our country who have given so much to keep us safe.” My work has been presented to members of the U.S. Senate by conservation organizations as a reminder of their responsibility to preserve the beauty of our land. I have supplied corporate art displays of more than one thousand prints to a single client, and one of my grizzly images ran three stories high on the Bank of the West headquarters against the San Francisco skyline.
My photography has appeared on the covers of National Geographic and National Wildlife, with credits including Smithsonian, GEO, and Sierra, and many more, along with books for National Geographic, Time-Life, and Houghton Mifflin, and Ken Burns’ Emmy Award–winning PBS series America’s National Parks.
Through the window of my lens, I hope to bring you into the soul of these species and the special places they call home — capturing the beauty of the natural world, and preserving rare moments and creatures. — Jess
Frequently asked questions
Fine art wildlife prints.
Are these wildlife photographs taken in the wild or at game farms?
Every image in this archive is the result of ethical, boots-on-the-ground fieldcraft. Jess Lee does not photograph captive animals, game farms, or baited subjects. These are wild encounters from fifty years of tracking apex predators and megafauna in their natural habitats, requiring immense patience, extreme-weather endurance, and deep respect for the ecosystem.
Can these wildlife prints be scaled for large architectural spaces?
Yes. Wildlife detail, from the texture of a grizzly's fur to frost on a winter bison, requires flawless capture. Working with ultra-high-resolution systems, including the 102-megapixel medium format and high-speed 35 mm systems, Jess Lee produces museum-grade prints that scale up to 120 inches wide without losing detail, ideal for vaulted great rooms and luxury lodges.
Are these wildlife photography prints limited edition?
Yes. To protect their value for collectors, these fine art prints are released in strict limited editions. Once an edition reaches its limit, that image is retired from that print medium. Each piece is signed, numbered, and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity.
How are large prints packaged and shipped?
Large and multi-piece acrylic and metal orders ship in heavy-duty wooden crating built for oversized museum-grade pieces, fully insured, with specialized freight for the largest works. Smaller fine art paper prints ship in secure tubes or appropriate protective packing. (Our crates are thoroughly built — you'll want an electric screwdriver.)
Can I see how a wildlife print will look in my space before I buy?
Yes. Send a photograph of your wall and the studio will create a room mockup showing the piece at true scale in your space, at no cost and no obligation, so you can settle size and placement before you commit.
Do you work with interior designers and trade clients?
Yes. The studio regularly collaborates with the trade community on residential, corporate, and hospitality projects, offering custom sizing, multi-piece curation, and direct consultation to match specific architectural aesthetics.
