He shoots with a Canon 85mm ƒ1.2 on a 5D Mark 2. Processing using a combo of photoshop and lightroom. He has access to elderly people because he has a family member in the same home for the elderly.
Consistency definitely ties in his Flickr stream but it hasn't always been the case.

I've seen a lot of this, and not all by him. As Set says, it's almost as if he perfected the lighting and a photoshop process, then brought in 50 people and pressed the shutter.
That being said, I'd love to know how to get such richness and depth to a photo, it is a beautful effect

Lee is very well know on Flickr, not just for his work but also his sharking practices on women. I know first hand accounts that he's not what he seems. He's Flickr stream has changed somewhat over time but there is a reason for this. Some of his past work was processed by others when he wasn't so well known. Now that he has a regular following, he has abandoned their work.
I haven't looked at Lee's work in a while so was very surprised to see his promoted here. I give the guy credit for what he has done but like some have said above. His work is over processed, and his 'models' seem like a collection of victims.

Very nice, powerful images. After seeing 4 or 5 though they all get a bit samey...

I like how there is a picture of a monkey thrown in between all the pictures of old, weathered people.

don't like, too much of everything, not simple.

beautiful, but way too processed. In away they seem 'composed'

I mean come on, how many wrinkled, bearded faces can you shove into one portfolio? It seems really gratuitous and exploitive.
"Hey there's an ugly fellow! Can't wait to add this one to my collection!"

Not a fan. It strikes of voyeurism rather than portraiture. Like he's collecting people like they're pokemon cards.

I wonder if he buys his subjects lunch after shooting them. or at least drops them a couple bucks

Wow - this is some great work.
I like the processing, reminds of film developed with Rodinal.
