Lew Lorton Photography

I have some definite ideas about photography. I don't think that any photograph should be only an exact reproduction of what's in front of the lens without any more emotion or content than that. Perhaps that is why I don't care for the typical sit-in-front-of a backdrop-all-dressed-up kind of portrait photography. These are the kind of results that come from virtually all chain studios and, unfortunately, many portrait photographers. There is no individuality or any personality that shines through.

And that's what I try to achieve. Each picture, from a street photograph to a portrait, should bring with it some emotional impact, something that carries the viewer beyond the frame.

I hope you enjoy the galleries and collections and, if you have any comments or questions, just send me an email at lew@lewlortonphoto.com
