“STEADY IN FLOW”: This photo by Lisa Granozio is part of “Emergence: Expanding in Light,” her series on view through June 6 at The Nassau Club, 6 Mercer Street.

Professional photographer Lisa Granozio seeks to reflect beauty and light in her subjects, and through her work provide a connection to the healing powers of the natural world. Building upon her 2020 series “The Light Within,” which seeks to shine light on our inner shadows and to access our individual light to heal, Granozio now presents “Emergence: Expanding in Light.” This series of large-scale macro images reflects our potential to resurrect ourselves again and again — like flowers in spring, emerging reborn with an expanded luminance of our truth and an amplified capacity to share our light. Featuring plexi-mounted and framed photographs, the show will be on display through June 6 at The Nassau Club, 6 Mercer Street.

According to Granozio, each photograph in the exhibit reflects the qualities we feel when we move from an embodied secure place.

“Like spring rising from the darkness of winter, by returning to our inner light and embracing the shadows that have shaded that light and thereby constricted the expression of our fullest selves, we increase our capacity for self-love and emerge with strength, wisdom, grace, spaciousness, and radiance,” she said. “We shed what no longer feels authentic and we rise expanded, having acquired an inner peace that affirms our humanity. And, when we shine our brightest light we make room for others to do the same. Expanding our light raises the vibration collectively.”

Granozio is passionate about connecting others to the healing powers of the natural world through her images. Currently, a permanent collection of 15 large-scale photographs is on display in the therapy rooms and public spaces of Trinity Counseling Service (TCS) in Princeton. Additionally, she was a featured speaker in TCS’s 2021 speaker series, “Light, Color and Nature; Connecting the Inside and Outside for Balance, Wellness and Health.” To advance her passion, a portion of all sales directly support the work of TCS and Hope for Depression Research Foundation.

Drawn to details that engage the eye, Granozio’s passion has taken her beyond her garden to interior regions of Panama, the coastal Atlantic and Pacific, the canyons of Utah and Arizona, the streets of Havana, Cuba, and hillside towns of Europe. Her award-winning photos have been published online and in national publications. She owns and operates LAG photography, a fine art and portrait photography company. Her work is available through her website lagphotography.com and instagram.com/lisagranozio.
