RICHARD LAWSON PHOTOGRAPHY

My passion in life is to inspire and nourish people both through my work as a photographer and as a clinical psychologist. Touching people's hearts through creative expression and clinical service have deepened my life's fulfillment... I believe my camera is a divining rod to beauty. Appreciating beauty can open the heart and when our hearts are open we are more receptive to love and deep inspiration... I strive to capture the essential qualities of Nature, whether it's a landscape, seascape, or floral. When I take a photograph, a continual back and forth communication takes place between my heart's aesthetic sensibilities and my mind's technical craftsmanship. When a photograph comes out as I experienced it in the moment or as I pre-visualized it in my mind's eye, the resulting image conveys the deepest emotional impact on the viewer and myself. It is as if an inner knowing reveals itself and it all comes together with the click of the shutter.
