Holly Lee (Chinese: 黃楚喬[1]), born 1953 in Hong Kong,[2] is an artist-photographer, best known for her portraits project, the Hollian Thesaurus. She was one of the pioneers of conceptual photography in Hong Kong, experimenting with Photoshop to create composite photographs[3] that were reminiscent of oil paintings.[4] Her work has been collected by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum[5] and M+ Museum.[3]

Holly Lee has worked as a professional photographer since 1980. She was one of the founders of Dislocation, a monthly photography journal in Hong Kong active from 1992 to 1998.[6] In 1997, she re-located from Hong Kong to Toronto, Canada[7] where she and Lee Ka Sing, an artist-photographer, set up INDEXG (a gallery and art studio space).[8] The duo now publishes online on a weekly periodical, Double Double by Ocean Pounds.[9]
