I focus on naturalistic subject matter that conceptually examines the relationship between humans and animals, exploring its potential and urging us to reconsider our connection to the natural world. This image is a composite of a young zebra photographed in a studio setting in California, USA + a Tanzania, Africa landscape.
Born and raised in Kimball, Nebraska, United States. Newell’s interest in photography began while observing animal behavior on her family’s ranch and much of her inspiration as an artist emerges from those childhood experiences.
Lennette’s photographic approach is based upon conceptual and aesthetic exploration; pushing the boundaries of story telling through her energetic, discerning creative process most commonly threaded through the animal kingdom. Her photographic projects have earned her numerous accolades as well as guest photographer television appearances.
Lennette continues to produce passionate personal work that has been exhibited in galleries (notably Valerie-Anne Giscard d’Estaing’s Galerie Photo 12 Paris, France) & photography festivals worldwide.
