Enter the macrobotanical world of ABSURDITY and AWE. Irwin Lightstone’s “UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL” perspective reveals a world easily overlooked. Using cutting edge digital technology, Irwin may merge as many as 100 nearly identical images, each with a different point of focus, creating final prints with unsurpassed clarity of detail, depth, and texture. With his command of lighting, intimate knowledge of his subject, and prodigious technique, Irwin’s work reveals the mystery and wonder of a world not otherwise seen.
After 29 years practicing trial law, Irwin Lightstone closed his law firm to concentrate on his botanical and nature photography. Irwin is a past president of the North Texas Cactus and Succulent Society, past president of the Texas Association of Cactus and Succulent Societies, and a former vice president of the Fort Worth Cactus and Succulent Society. He led numerous photographic seminars throughout the state including Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, Plano, Kerrville, McKinney, and Dallas and was a featured speaker at the Gulf States Photographic Conference. Additionally, he led programs sponsored by the Dallas Museum of Art, the Dallas Arboretum and the International Photography Hall of Fame. His photography has won numerous awards and is often featured in the Cactus and Succulent Journal. Presently, he is Director of Photography for the Wilson History and Research Center. His book, Succulent Abstracts and Absurdities in Black and White, was recently published.
Irwin lives in Dallas with his wife, Robin, his two children, three cats and several thousand plants.
