Aloha,
Thank you for visiting Light Source Photography by Lee Scott.
I am a self taught photographer based on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai. In my photography I try to communicate the dynamic flow, meditative beauty, and the energy of the natural world.
I sign all of my work with the Japanese character Hikari at the end of my name. Hikari is a beautiful word. It translates into English as light, and points to the spiritual basis of my work. I believe that nature is the foundation of all of spiritual teachings and time spent in nature's light is time well spent.
While on Kauai, I encourage you to visit my gallery. I am located in the charming, artist town of Hanapepe at 3890 Hanapepe Road. In my gallery you will find both limited edition metal prints, artist proofs on acrylic, and museum quality mat prints on the finest photographic papers.
You'll also discover Naomi's handmade, one-of-a-kind bags, eye pillows, coffee sleeves, and shell jewelry.
Naomi and I hope to see you on your next visit to Kauai.
Mahalo nui loa!
Warmest Aloha,
Lee and Naomi
