Capturing Life Through Street Photography

Peter Lee has been living in China since 1999. His street photography spans more than two decades, so some of these images were taken in the early 2000s, many on one of several Rolleiflex vintage twin lens reflex cameras that are over 60 years old.

The Rolleiflex draws attention from strangers who often ask about the camera, making it an easy transition to asking permission to take a portrait. It also lowers suspicion when approaching strangers for a photographs, minimising rejections.
