About Sara And Dick
Through The Lens Gallery features the artistry of Dick Fortune and Sara Lopez. Their work is both unique and refreshing. For over thirty-five years as a flooring contractor with his brother and partner, Dick's business and travel adventures have taken him from New Zealand and the Pacific, to South Africa and the Caribbean. Always in tow was his photo bag as his lust for nature needed to be captured and shared. Whether it was sky diving or bungee jumping; touring the reefs or out islands as a helicopter pilot; climbing a glacier or surfing Oahu's north shore; or finishing an Ironman Triathelon in South Africa, Dick's outlook and thirst for adventure have given him a unique perspective when looking through the lens. His images reflect his discipline and quest for detail. He has an uncanny eye for raw beauty that is more fine art than photography. These are but some of the characteristics that make Dick such an exceptional photographer.
Sara's style is uniquely different as she has an intuitive sense of what is beautiful when she looks through the lens. She captures the true essence of her subjects as they come alive in her images. Her love of nature and wildllife are immediately evident when viewing her work. She achieved her drive and focus through her education, having a Bachelor's degree in Professional Management and a Certificate Degree in Project Management. Her career experiences in the corporate world helped her develop her discipline and careful attention to detail, evident in her artful images.
They live in Miami, Florida with their Weimeraners, Tonga and Tiki.
