Riviera, by Lewis Francis

Lewis Francis, an acclaimed photographer, has garnered recognition for his exceptional work, predominantly in the realm of black and white photography. Hailing from Gibraltar, he made the transition to the United States in 1995 and now calls Orcas Island in Washington State his home. The move to the Pacific Northwest in 2020 sparked a rekindling of his affinity for color photography. While embracing the allure of vibrant hues, Lewis remains deeply committed to the artistry of black and white imagery. He perceives a distinct narrative within monochromatic landscapes, wherein natural and man-made environments offer viewers a uniquely compelling experience devoid of color.
