We see with our heARTs, not with our eyes.

Diane Lamboley is a photographer whose love is to create visual poetry. Diane embraces adventure and finds much inspiration in exploring earth's natural beauty. She has lived in the US and Asia and traveled the world, camera in hand. Her photographic eye for angles, light, and textures, combined with her appreciation for people, culture, and travel, have helped Diane cultivate her award-winning creative process.

Diane digitally transforms her photographs into unique works of art. The modern process employed, along with the unique printing procedure, contributes to the contemporary feel of her artwork. All of Diane’s artwork is printed on aluminum.

Diane's work is featured in exhibitions around the country (including NY and LA) and has won numerous photography awards. Three pieces of her artwork will be on display this summer at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art. Diane currently pursues her artistic endeavors from her home in the Midwest where she resides with her husband, Rusty, and Buck the Wonder Dog.

“The brilliant thing about aluminum is it can be hung anywhere. It’s exceptionally lightweight and makes a statement without being framed.”

What I do …

I am called to capture the beauty of nature through my photographs which are then digitally transformed for people to experience a visual journey. By adding or changing color, shapes and patterns in my photos, the natural environment is then seen in a different way. My artwork is printed on aluminum. Some pieces are printed straight onto the silver thus contributing to the luminescence and brilliance. Others are on aluminum with a white coating applied first. This intensifies the colors making them more brilliant. Occasionally I will print on textured aluminum adding depth and character. The style of printing is thoughtfully chosen to complement each piece. The frameless, floating look of aluminum enhances the contemporary feel of my artwork.

  • WHERE I FIND INSPIRATION:
    Parks— give me parks! It doesn’t matter if it’s Yellowstone, my local neighborhood park, or hiking; anywhere in Nature, I am inspired.

    FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR:
    Spring. There’s just something about the freshness of springtime. New life, new beginnings, and a new way to see the world.

    MY CAMERA EQUIPMENT:
    Canon cameras and lenses. I have several and use them with gusto. They’re banged about and dirty, but they work like a charm.

    SUNRISE OR SUNSET?
    I’m definitely a sunset woman. Some of my best photos have been taken in the golden hour while the sun is slipping away. Bonus points if there are a few clouds to add some interest.

    HOW AND WHEN DID I LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY?

    I had a summer scholarship to a local university when I was 15. We could only shoot in black and white and were taught how to develop our film. I still see B/W when I am photographing and often don’t even realize the colors until I download my photos. I believe this is why I love to make my photos B/W and then add my own colors.
