“Visions of our world, whether by nature or man-made, can change in an instant. My passion is to capture and preserve these moments with my camera,” Markarian explained. “My photography preferences are people and nature, earth in its simplest form, yet a man-made creation may capture my attention with its captivating mystery or the story of its past. My photographs not only show their beauty, but they create a story of our world that I desire to share with others.”

Besides photographing nature and fine art subjects, Lynn Ann is busy with local and national photo shoots. Her work has been featured in news publications, a national magazine, Spark & Hustle Special Edition 2010, and advertisements as well as in galleries, exhibits and hospitals (including healing arts programs).
