The Artist

I tell stories of life, love, and triumph, celebrating the beauty and resilience of the human spirit. The diversity and complexity of humanity inspire me. I intertwine the written word with photographs. This interdisciplinary approach, I refer to as The Missy Burton Experience, allows me to explore themes and narratives in a multifaceted manner.

When I look through my lens, the only things that matter are my subjects, lights, shadows, leading lines, and composition. The narratives from my photographs often reveal themselves over time as I reflect and contemplate what I have captured.

While I primarily work with digital photography, I also sincerely appreciate the warmth and nostalgia of film. I am rediscovering this medium through vintage cameras, exploring new avenues of creativity and expression.

In contrast to my approach to photography, I prefer to begin my writing process with pen and paper, allowing my thoughts to flow freely before transcribing them for archival purposes. This tactile experience adds depth and intimacy to my written work, complementing the visual narratives I create through photography.

My work reflects my fascination with the human experience and my desire to capture its beauty and complexity. Through photography and writing, I strive to evoke emotion, spark imagination, and invite viewers to see the world through a different lens.
