Lane Billings is a professional photographer who was raised in rural Ohio.

She was educated at the University of Cincinnati and the University of California, Los Angeles.

She started her photography career in 2010 in Santa Fe, New Mexico as a travel photographer.  She relocated to Boston in 2015 for treatment of brain cancer (now in remission).  She was taken by the beauty of the North Shore (of Boston) so she stayed for seven years.  She now resides in Columbus, Ohio, a new city for her to explore.

Artist Statement:

I became more fascinated by color and contrast after I went blind briefly due to brain cancer.  Color was the first element that I saw when I regained my sight.

Capturing colors and contrasts is my goal now.  Because colors set the tone and mood of the photograph it’s more important than textures and patterns, and often lines.

I've become more drawn to Nature, to express my feelings of the power  -- or its ability to calm minds and souls.
