Be a Light Code

MaryEllen and her Great Pyrenees, Lumi

MaryEllen Curran is an international award winning fine art infrared light photographer, author and renowned Philosopher of Light,

An empathic photographer's journey, captivated by light since birth and guided by an intuitive connection to the unseen. A visual story of her work with light codes and the creative source of awareness that we draw to us what we see and feel.

MaryEllen’s images will have you in awe, they are more than photographs. They are transmissions of presence. Each image she creates carried a whisper from nature, enclosed in the way light dances through petals, trees and time. M’s work awakens a memory within us, of how to feel, see, and trust the invisible thread that connects all life.

 
Love & Light… M

Love & Light… M

 

What I call light is simply intuition made visible.

Grand Architectural Scale & Limited Editions

Each photograph is captured across rare analog Kodak HIE infrared film and converted digital sensors, offering a rare glimpse into invisible light spectrums. Select works are offered in strictly limited editions, available from classic studio formats up to monumental architectural scales (30"x40", 40"x60", and custom installations).

Archival Hahnemühle Substrates

To preserve the luminous, painterly depth of infrared light, our large-format works are Giclée printed on 100% Cotton & Bamboo Hahnemühle Fine Art Rag. Prints are archival cold-mounted to rigid Dibond panels, ensuring an imperishable, perfectly flat surface across statement dimensions.

Handcrafted Exotic Hardwood Framing

Every large-scale piece can be paired with bespoke studio framing built from rich, ethically sourced hardwoods—including American Walnut, Zebrawood, and Pickled Maple.
