Lee Treloar is a travel photographer and writer based in Abbotsford, British Columbia. She received her first camera at the age of ten and has been seeing the world through a viewfinder ever since.

Lee Treloar is a true globe-trotter; she has captured images on all seven continents, but it is her exploits and adventures in the polar regions, that put Lee in a league of her own.

Lee's polar passion was born on a voyage to the Canadian Arctic and Greenland in 1999. Her inner aperture was opened up a few stops on that journey and since that time, she has circumnavigated both the Arctic and the Antarctic continent on more than a dozen expeditions.

From polar bears to penguins, from the walrus to the albatross, Lee's work captures some of the most remote and stunningly beautiful areas on the globe.

In the Arctic and Antarctic, photography is a 24 hour-a-day event: the light and colours are a magical palette for the artist. At the same time, the cold polar climate gives rise to some extreme photographic challenges and unexpected adventures.

Lee's images have a significant urgency in a time of a rapidly changing polar environment. Lee's aim is to educate and to inspire us to be stewards of the fragile ecosystems on our beautiful blue planet.

Lee's articles and images have appeared in The Vancouver Sun, The Globe and Mail, Our Canada magazine and featured in CAPA's Canadian Camera magazine. Her icy images have illustrated books, calendars and magazines and she has shown her work in a number of galleries. Lee gives photographic workshops to audiences across Canada and is an active member of the Abbotsford Photo Arts Club and Canadian Association of Photographic Arts. Lee has been honored as a Member International of The Explorers Club of New York.
