About
Irene Yee (she/her)
“Irene Yee, known as LadyLockOff on Instagram, is a successful rock climbing photographer. While Irene herself breaks the mold of a traditional rock climber, it’s her images that are truly rebellious. With unique angles and creative framing, Yee showcases the fun and accessible side of rock-climbing, where friends support each other, laugh, and enjoy getting outside. The social perspective of rock climbing has historically been under-represented, with traditional media highlighting only pinnacle athletes and feats. Yee’s photos capture the vibrancy of everyday rock climbers pursuing their own version of glory. “
