Shelley Lipton Photography

In my work, I seek to produce novel photographic perspectives of natural subjects with the hope to stimulate unique refreshing views of their beauty.

My process is as important to me as my photographs. I often grow what I photograph from seeds which I cultivate. I carefully select species with characteristics that interest me and mesh with my creative vision. I cut my own mats, make the pigment ink prints, and frame my work, all while using traditional museum archival methods and materials. From beginning to the end, I am connected organically and value being involved in every stage of creating an image.
