Antigua through my lens by Jervez Lee

Antiguan Jervez Lee works as a building inspector at the Development Control Authority (DCA), but in his spare time hiking and playing in the Benna Boys senior football team are his passions. This beach and nature lover’s stunning shots showcase the fabulous coastlines, colours and light of his beloved Antigua which he then shares with his followers on Instagram. Jervez is currently in the process of starting a side-business which will combine his love for hiking and photography.

Working in the building industry, how important is photography as a creative outlet for you?

As a building inspector you pay attention to the little details in construction, which for me transfers to nature.

Has photography always been important to you? When did you start taking photos?

Photography has always been important to me as it helps me to bring what I’ve created in my mind alive when I’m out and about in nature. I started taking photos when I got a phone with a camera in my teens. Nature inspires me; it offers so much.

What for you constitutes a great shot?

A great shot is one you capture and the viewer instantly wishes they were right there. I always try my best to capture a genuine real feel.

Instagram is a powerful tool and platform that connects people. It brings people closer and allows them to see what you see through photography.
