Lumen
in motion.

Larissa Nowak

Lumen began long before the first photograph — at the barre. Raised in Brazil on music and movement, she trained as a ballerina and studied music from a young age, learning early that art lives in discipline and in breath.

In 2015, a scholarship brought her to New York University, and a decade in the city sharpened her eye for both the dramatic and the quiet. The language of dance became a way of seeing: light, line, and the held pause before motion.

Now based in the Sarasota area, she photographs portraits and performances with a sensibility rooted in the natural world — drawn to organic light, texture, and the connection between the body and the spaces it moves through.
