Marmon, Lee, 1925 - 2021
Biographical notes:
Lee Marmon, circa 1990s
Lee Marmon is one of America’s best known and most widely respected Native American photographers. For the past fifty years, Lee Marmon has used the magic and power of his camera lens to immortalize the noble spirit and enduring legacy of his elder tribes people in his native Laguna, New Mexico. The passing of time has turned his prolific collection of rare and high quality photographs – both portraits and landscapes - into a breathtaking album of images that he proudly calls, “Visions of My People."
Today, at age 79, Lee Marmon is still driven by his love and passion for his craft. From his photography studios in Laguna, New Mexico, Lee personally produces and signs each high-quality print from its original negative, using time-tested, professional darkroom techniques.
