After she stopped interning with David LaChapelle, Hatnim Lee started posting a blog showcasing her startlingly well-composed cell-phone photos and digital snapshots of sushi dinners, staged shots of preening hipsters, and dreamy images of Williamsburg at twilight. The images now form the basis of her solo show at DC's Transformer gallery (which reinterprets her color-saturated snaps as large-scale prints) as well as the self-titled monograph that accompanies the exhibit. Although books and gallery recognition seem a step up from a blog, Lee attributes her productivity to the inspiration she got online. "I was motivated to get the blog up," she explains. "I like capturing vulnerable moments. When a subject's heart shakes hands with mine, it's like being emotionally rocked by a moment in time."
