Lee Shulman

Biography
The driving force behind The Anonymous Project is Lee Shulman. Born in London, he graduated from the University of Westminster with a BA in Art and Visual Culture. Currently based in Paris, he founded "The Anonymous Project" in 2017, which quickly grew into one of the largest collections of amateur photography slides.
It all started when he randomly purchased a box of slides online. He was immediately captivated by the stories and characters he discovered, opening a window into a forgotten collective memory that has since been revived through exhibitions, publications, and collaborative projects.
In April 2025, his work will be exhibited at the Kyotographie festival in Japan.
