While at the Virginian, Lees met another racing photographer, Peter Winants of the Maryland Horse (now the MidAtlantic Thoroughbred).
“I went to Peter’s studio and saw his stuff,” Lees recalled. “It was amazing. Innovative. Fresh. He was doing things no one had done before — shots from under a fence, big lenses. He had incredible vision. I decided that's what I wanted to do.” Winants became his second photo hero.
Photography took a brief sidepass as Lees followed father Hareourt into the real estate and insurance business; today, he still sells insurance through Canr and Hyde in Warrenton, which annexed Lees’ D.H. Lees Insurance in 1993. Photography remains his “second job,” but one Lees takes very seriously.
In addition to shooting foxhunting and steeplechasing, Lees likes to photograph polo. An avid fly fisherman himself, he also excels at river photography and close ups of custom tied flies, and trout.
“I actually love shooting canr dids,” Lees said. The ‘faces’ of steeplechasing are interesting.
