Our Staff

Lynne Brown

Founder of P2

Lynne is the founder and CEO of Perspective2. Born in Ohio, raised in Mid-Michigan. Lynne’s photographic interest was sparked at an early age by her grandmother Bertha Brown. Bertha not only shot photographs in the early 1900s with large bellows cameras, but developed the glass plates in her family’s outhouse in rural Illunois. Cameras were always in use in the Brown household. In her teens, Lynne used her father’s 35mm Pentax and became Haslett High School’s chief photographer and yearbook editor. She also freelanced for local newspapers and sports teams.

At the age of 18, Lynne began working at Linn Camera Shop in Lansing and continued her photographic interest by enrolling in Lansing Community College’s photo program. On completion of the program, Lynne took a management position in Flint at the Quarry Photo where she became a Certified Photographic Counselor and then took an opportunity to open and manage a store in Beverly Hills, California.

After 6 years of retail camera store management, Lynne returned to the Lansing area and completed her companion degree in graphic design at MSU and started Media Graphics, Inc., a successful graphic design and publishing company.

In the last decade digital technology has greatly changed how we take photographs and how many people have access to image making, Lynne wanted to open the doors of the digital studio photographic experience to others that love photography. The idea of Perspective2 was born. Perspective2 offers two large unique studios where photography, photographers, equipment, ideas and people connect to create artistic energy and images.
