Atelier Le May Photography

Atelier Le May Photography Photography of Annette LeMay Burke I've been interested in photography since I was a teen.

I've always wanted to share how I see the world with others and photography provides me that opportunity. I'm a Bay Area native and I've studied photography at UC Berkeley, Santa Fe Workshops, West Valley College, Academy of Art University, and PhotoAlliance. Many of my images focus on how we interact and intersect with the natural world. I strive to show the beauty of nature's nuances and details

- in both landscapes and people. I search out opportunities to make those images, especially while traveling (including a recent trip to Cuba). After a successful career in Silicon Valley, I've been able to merge my passions for art, design, and technology into an avocation of photography. My work has been displayed in group shows throughout the US and is in private collections in California and Hawaii.

I'm thrilled to be included in the photolucida jurored Critic Mass competition. There's so many talented names on the list. Thanks to all the jurors and fingers crossed for the final round!

My project Prime Location documents the e-commerce warehouses that are replacing farmland and open space along the edges of California's communities, located where highways, rail corridors, and last-mile delivery routes converge. What was once prime agricultural land is now prime location of a different kind, ground for the infrastructure of instant consumption. The warehouses' repetitive, copy-and-paste architecture — banal yet monumental — has become a new vernacular, a built expression of the shift from brick-and-mortar retail to e-commerce.

One of my images was selected for the 2026 Members' Exhibition at Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA - on view until May 10. The image is from my series Rift: Unearthing the Divide Along the San Andreas fault. It was taken with an infrared camera in Desert Hot Springs. Thank you to juror Dr. Rebecca Senf and to Ann Jastrab for making the exhibition so successful.

Fauxliage - On the Flanks of Mauna Kea, Waimea, HI (2026)

Even in the fog and rain, these manufactured trees are recognizable. This one is located at 6000' between two volcanoes on the big island of Hawaii.

Fauxliage - 5GT3, Irvine, CA (2026)

Irvine is a relatively new planned city (1965). It contains a lot of office parks, strip malls, and 1970s "industrial parks" (according to New Topographics photographer Lewis Baltz.) The area also hosts a large number of high end cars; I think even more than Silicon Valley. I captured this image during sunrise on a Sunday morning.

Fauxliage - Wires Crossed, Lebec, CA 2026

Does a cell phone tower need to be concealed as a tree when it’s on a road lined with telephone poles? Well, this one is.

I published a book of my Fauxliage images a few years ago, but I still photograph outstanding towers that I encounter in my travels.

New work from my Prime Location series which examines how the rapid growth of e-commerce is reshaping the landscape.
