In my Photography, I aim to go beyond capturing a scene and instead focus on conveying the essence of the natural beauty around us. Through digital techniques, I intricately layer photographs creating ethereal and dreamlike settings. Each image is carefully composed to create an experience that reflects the emotional and sensory impact of being in a flower field. I use vibrant colors and strong contrasts to emphasize the inherent beauty of the natural world. I aim to engage viewers in a conversation about the relationship between perception and reality.

BethAnne Lutz graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Fine Arts, specializing in photography and metalsmithing. After completing her studies, she started designing nature-inspired jewelry sold in art galleries across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. Currently, she lives in the Unami Creek Valley near Green Lane, Pennsylvania, where she captures the region's natural beauty. Using digital layering techniques, BethAnne carefully selects each image for her layers to create vibrant, textured dreamscapes and surreal atmospheres that blend reality and imagination.
