Lee Fook Chee was a Singaporean photographer based in Hong Kong since 1947. Lee worked intermittently as a journeyman photographer in The Peak from the summer of 1948 until sometime in 1955 when he instead started selling pictures of famous landscapes and street of Hong Kong to the tourists. With the popularization of colour photography Lee's black and white picture started to look outdated and revenue from sales reduced. After trying to sell his pictures in other spots, eventually he gave up the business of photography and run with his wife a grocery shop in Wan Chai from 1961 onwards.
