Lee Torrens’s Summary
Lee Torrens is the author of Microstock Diaries where he blogs about his experiences as a microstock photographer and reports on the microstock market. He started the blog in early 2007 to share what he was learning about the industry and it has since grown into an entrepreneurial venture and a passion for Lee. Milking this wild ride for all he can, Lee has taken opportunities to present at conferences and mingle with some of the world's top stock photographers and industry notables. Until he can sell enough of his own stock photos to earn a living, he's not unhappy writing about those who do so instead.
