LISA DOWNS, Photographer

. . . I do not photograph subjects. I photograph how they make me feel
|
My interest in photography did not begin with books or mentors. It evolved through a natural love of and fascination with the peace and calm I found in nature. I was born and raised in a rural North Dakota town where sunsets and beauty were abundant. Colorado has been my home for 30 years now and there is no end to the wildlife and beauty that I find daily.
I now call myself a photographer, but I am also a mental health therapist and a trauma survivor. I combine my experiences of all three and that is the beginning of my love of story through photography. My passion is simply to capture and share the timeless beauty that is found in whatever moments we experience in life. I do not photograph subjects. I photograph how they make me feel. I am passionate about telling the story that I see unfolding in front of me. My connection with the story may be different than yours. I hope my images provide pleasure for your soul, as well as your eyes.
