Through a Different Lens Services

Through a Different Lens invites us to see familiar subjects from a new perspective. Featuring the work of four photographers, the collection explores time, transformation, intimacy, and inscription—each through a radically different visual language. 

Kristen Hughes records the arborglyphs of our region—carvings made into tree bark by humans over decades. 

Peter Lundeen documents plant life close-up, capturing their daily and seasonal transformations.

Paul Pennington presents time-lapse photography taken in his studio, transforming everyday subject matter into bold, abstract compositions.

In this series of work, Colby Smith digitally alters his photographs of stonework under the bridges of Paris, blending a patterned-realism with surreal visual manipulation.

Through a Different Lens celebrates the power of photography to slow time, magnify the minute, remix the real, and immortalize the fleeting. These four artists use the camera not just as a recording device, but as a tool for questioning assumptions and opening dialogue. Through a Different Lens ultimately asks: What do we miss when we always look in the same direction? And what might we discover if we learn to see the world differently?
