Lee Grant lives and works in both Australia and Asia. She studied anthropology before completing a Masters in Visual Art at the Australian National University in 2010. She has been exhibiting her photography since 1991 and has published two books on her work: Belco pride (2012) and The five happinesses (2015). Grant uses the medium of photography to explore migrant identity against the backdrop of Australian suburbia. She was a member of the Australian photo-collective Oculi from 2012 to 2014 and is currently working on projects in Australia, Korea and India. Grant won the William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize in 2010 with her work Mary with her daughters Aja and Adau, and her granddaughter Nankir, 2009.

PHOTO Australia respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live, and the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. For over 60,000 years, Indigenous arts and culture have thrived on this sacred land, and we honour Elders and cultural leaders past and present. This was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
