Featured Customers | Lewis Burnett Bridging the Gap

Capturing intimate and dramatic portraits of nature, Lewis uses minimalistic yet vibrant imagery to bring his audience closer to the natural world. Revealing the hidden details and mysteries behind some of the planet's most misunderstood wildlife he aims to convey a sense of fragility, imprint the urgency of environmental stewardship and help build a stronger connection to the nature that surrounds us.

Lewis believes that our society has lost the vital link to the natural world that sustains us physically and spiritually. He aims to bridge the gap between art and science and bring the wonders of nature closer to our hearts and minds in the hopes that we can help act on the necessary tasks to ensure its survival.

By working with NGO’s and organizations in the field he aims to document the dedicated work being done all over our planet to try and reverse the flow of destruction and hopes to shine the global spotlight on the world's lesser-known species
