Originally from Seattle, WA, Lake Lewis is a fifth-year architecture student at Carnegie Mellon University. He has been named a DiversifyPhoto "Up Next" Photographer, and his work has been featured in/with Travel & Leisure, Pittsburgh City Paper, and Carnegie Mellon University. Lake is primarily focused in creating documentary, portrait, and editorial media- through via 35mm film, digital, and video formats.
Documentation is an act that allows him to tell stories of various beings; living, built, and everything in between. Through his images, Lake hopes to contribute positive change to the ever-dynamic and uncertain world around him.
“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.” - Irving Penn
