JeeYoung Lee (Korean: 이지영; born 1983) is a South Korean visual artist. She graduated from Hongik University in Seoul and received the Sovereign Art Prize in 2012.[1] Her photographs are held in the Kyoto Photographic Museum in Japan, the Incheon Foundation for Art and Culture, and Seoul's OCI Museum.[2]

Lee is known for her surreal images, which she creates by physically transforming her studio space into intricate and imaginative dreamscapes using hand-constructed props and then photographing them without digital manipulation.[3] Restrained by conventional photography medium, Lee added plastic creativity and theatrical performance to it.[4]
