What My Peers Are Saying

A New Layer Revealed


Dedicated & Fearless

“Leanne is an artist through and through! She is dedicated to create authentically and dedicated to listen to her own creative voice. She fearlessly expresses it through her beautifully crafted photographs; photographs that are bold and eye catching while at the same time gentle and delicate. Leanne is not afraid to express both, the light and the dark. She is an incredibly kind and giving soul and I know that she is going places!”

MANUELA THAMES
Photo Based Artist


Exuberance & Whimsy

“Leanne is an artist whose work conjures -- in the most magical sense of the word -- a unique and fabulous cocktail combining joy, exuberance and whimsy with depth and emotional wow. Her work is daring and beautiful, and there is a fearlessness present in everything she does. I love Leanne's work and I love her approach, which is that super rare combination of freedom and discipline. A gifted genie, Leanne can help you find and mine your own creativity and coax surprising, gorgeous work. She's wonderful!”

AMY SELWYN

Revealing Layers

“From the moment I met her, she was a creative soul. Then a new layer was revealed & then another. She has brought us to tears and laughter with her art and every emotion in between. She also cares so much for others and give so much of HER, not only with her art but in her presence. Thank you.”

APRIL MILANI
Photographer & Owner of Gather Academy


A Powerful Artist

“Leanne is not only a kind, caring soul in the photography community but also a powerful artist. The way she sees and shares the world takes my breath away, my imagination soaring to new heights. I love how she explores both light and dark topics with her art. I am a better person for the thought provoking, deep, and beautiful images she creates to share with the world.”

LISA EDNEY

LINDA COLE

She’s going to WOW ya

“I recently participated in Theater of Botanicals I and II with Leanne Trivett S. and boy was it fun to play and allow my imagination and my creativity to blossom!  With gentle encouragement and support, Leanne creates a safe space for exploration and experimentation and encourages you to step out of your comfort zone.  If you are looking to produce images that are deeply connected to something other than a technically perfect shot, and want to produce images that are uniquely you, definitely consider participating in a class with Leanne Trivett!  Leanne’s classes are rich in content, inspiring, challenging and super FUN! I have a real sense of accomplishment and pride in what I’ve been able to create during and especially after the class wrapped up.   Every week I felt energized and excited about my work and the assignments and feedback from Leanne and my peers was invaluable. I enjoyed exploring who I am as a photographer and connecting at a deeper level with my subject matter.  If you are tired of the same old capture or are feeling blocked in your creativity, enroll in one of Leanne’s classes, you will not be disappointed! 

 She’s going to WOW ya!”
