Leighton’s signature technique creates an otherworldly atmosphere, making each plant appear both alien and extraordinarily beautiful.

By embracing the interplay of light and color, “Variegation” offers an exquisite exploration of nature’s diversity and complexity. Each photograph in the series encapsulates the delicate balance and harmony found in these botanical specimens, transforming them into living artworks that ignite the imagination and offer a unique visual feast.
