R. Lewis Hooten is an extraordinary photographer creating spectacular images and unique art from his love of all things botanical. As an orchid and rare plant hobbyist he began documenting his collection in the 1980’s. This quickly grew into a passion for sharing images of his fantastic botanic treasures. Rare and unusual plants and flowers are his constant inspiration for new images. He also produces unique assemblages of botanical ingredients to form inspiring images of transformation. The sub-tropical climate of South Florida supports an amazing range of viable plants to grow and share with his audience.
