Lewis is internationally recognized for his photographs that have appeared on the covers of a number of magazines, including Life, Natural History, Photographer’s Forum, and Geo, and within the pages of Time, Outside, Fortune, Newsweek, Stern, National Geographic, and many others. In addition, his photographs have received numerous awards and have been widely exhibited. Interviews and features with Lewis have been broadcast on the NBC Today Show, CBS Evening News, The Disney Channel and Discovery Channel. Print interviews and photo essays of his work have been featured in many magazines, including Photo District News, DigitalFoto, Studio Photography &Design, and Outdoor Photographer. His photographs are also found in numerous private, corporate, and public collections around the world, as well as in fine galleries and through major stock agencies.
Lewis has been capturing the Kilauea eruption since it began in 1983. The goal of his photography is to “connect the viewer to a deep understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Nowhere else is creation happening so dramatically.” Inspired by beauty and variety, Lewis is based out of Hawaii, Utah, and Alaska. He travels several months each year to pursue his art.
A reprint of Brad’s “Volcano — Creation in Motion” is expected to be released in early July. The book, which already offered a sublime glimpse into the heart of creation, includes a new format, cover and updated images of Halemaumau and the recent lava flows near Pahoa. A book signing event will be scheduled when the publication becomes available.
