Beginning her career as a travel journalist for Lonely Planet, Lisa Michele Burns swapped her pen for a camera in Marrakesh, Morocco, and has not looked back. She became hooked on photographing patterns hidden within landscapes, extreme climates, cultures and the underwater world. In 2009, Burns opened a landscape gallery on Hayman Island, near the Great Barrier Reef. This location led to her obsession of documenting the environment above and below the surface. It's the details of nature that inspire her beautiful photography. Patterns carved by climates, movement in water and colorful skies, Burns is a strong believer that photography is as much about seeing as it is capturing. Her most recent project, The Photographic Forecast, focuses on regions of environmental significance. Images from Greenland to Namibia, Chile and Australia feature in a print collection from which proceeds are donated to conservation initiatives.
