Tommy Lei (b.1988) is a Los Angeles–based, award-winning visual artist and fine art photographer known for creating beauty in the chaos. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Chinatown, Los Angeles, he brings a bi-cultural lens to his work—merging themes of identity, storytelling, and stillness through thoughtful composition. With a background in psychology and global travel experience, his work centers on peaceful, meditative imagery that reflects the fluidity of time and encourages a deeper presence in the everyday. Tommy’s work has been recognized by the Aesthetica Art Prize, Neutral Density Awards, Fine Art Photography Awards, and Monovisions Photography Awards. His photographs—captured using Leica cameras and printed on archival Canson Infinity papers, where he also serves as a brand ambassador—are exhibited and collected internationally. His collectors include writers, technologists, and leaders in nonprofit sectors, most notably Little Fires Everywhere author Celeste Ng. His work has appeared in publications such as Architectural Digest, Domino, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Washington Post. His latest exhibition is on view at the Pasadena Museum of History.
