Luminescence – Calista Lyon

Luminescence

My images are a journey through the intriguing and alluring world of flora. I have a deep admiration and respect for the natural environment, which began while growing up on a property in Tallangatta Valley. My Style evolved due to my desire to depict the unusual and wonder surrounding the anatomy of flora.

I use my award-winning skills in photomacrography to capture striking simplicity and bold forms, that exude motion and feeling. ‘Luminesence’ seeks to awaken viewers to the beauty of our natural environment. It urges the viewer to gain a deeper understanding of the structures of these plants and how important their role is in the environment.

I invite you to view ‘Luminesence’, a body of work detailing the majestic anomaly of flora.
