Mandeville Photography Welcome! I’m Christy Mandeville, an award-winning artist in St. Petersburg, Florida capturing nature's raw beauty & power. Follow my adventures!

When not storm-chasing, I’m home with my better half, Ross, & our Burmese cats, Monkey & Mocha. Christy Mandeville is an award-winning landscape and fine-art photographer based in Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States. As a critically acclaimed global diverse artist known for her trademark lightning photography, Christy vividly brings to life a story of balance and seeing nature’s fury to embrace its raw beauty and power. One constant is always balancing the light and the dark. Shooting at night requires leaving the lens open longer to gather light but the intense burst of lightning can easily overwhelm resulting in a completely over-exposed photograph. Christy patiently waits hours upon hours for nature to provide her with the perfect moments to share with you. Christy invites you to join us and gaze in awe at the Perfect Moments she captures. In a single instance, Christy forever encapsulates nature's awesome spectacle into a unique story and today she is happy to extend and share those experiences with you.

“It cannot be taught it has to be felt. It is that single moment where photography becomes the artist's signature. A moment missed is a moment forever dedicated to the memory of time alone." -Christy Mandeville (2023)

10.15.2026 -- Rediscovering a quiet piece of magic from the archives today. 🌅✨

Captured straight from the camera along the shores of Indian Shores, Florida (May 3, 2022)—with just a simple color profile shift to AdobeRGB—"Amber Tide" captures those dramatic golden hour roll clouds and silky Gulf Coast waters.

I love seeing how versatile a piece can be, so I used my app to visualize it in a few new spaces: a serene wellness yoga studio, a dreamy kids' creative bedroom, and a luxurious resort master suite! 🧘‍♀️🛏️✨

Standard prints are available on my site, and wall murals are custom quoted. Drop a comment or message me if you'd like to bring a little bit of this golden tranquility into your space! 💛👇

10.15.2026 -- Mother Nature brought the drama, and I couldn't resist taking it a step further. ⚡🌅

Back in July 2022, I stood out on the sand in Indian Shores, Florida, and captured an intense summer lightning storm over the Gulf—a shot many of you know as Purple Rain.

I’ve always been fascinated by the contrast between raw, wild weather and clean architectural lines. So, I took the foundation of that original lightning strike and reimagined it into "Loom of Salted Light."

To see how it would actually feel in real life, I ran it through my visualization app as full-scale, edge-to-edge adhesive wall murals—and seeing it take over an entire architectural wall stopped me in my tracks.

Swipe through to see it in:
* A grand Boutique Hotel Lobby
* A sunlit Neighborhood Coffee Shop
* A sleek Corporate Conference Room

Whether printed as a massive floor-to-ceiling mural, or on high-gloss metal where that lightning bolt genuinely glows, this piece is all about pure elemental energy.

Spoiler alert: I had a little "coding hiccup" tonight and briefly thought I had completely vaporized my entire app. After a few hours of tedious code-hunting and sheer stubborn patience (because let's be real, I am in no way, shape, or form a software developer!), I managed to bring it back to life.

The reward? My Adhesive Wall Murals Mockups that I added prior to the disaster survived, transforming expansive commercial and living spaces into immersive coastal escapes.

Swipe through to check out the coffee shop mural as the main feature, followed by a gorgeous bedroom layout to see how a single aerial perspective can come to life on an entire architectural wall! What do y'all think of this full-scale wall look? 👇

10.13.2026 -- Some places leave an imprint on your soul that time just can't wash away.

Captured on a foggy late morning in Ecuador, 'Sanctuary of Silent Waters' is all about that deep, breathless pause where mountain fog kisses emerald slopes and the water stretches out like polished glass. It’s 100% authentic camera capture—no generative software, just the pure, raw stillness of the natural world.

To see how that calm translates into real living and working spaces, I ran the original photo through a custom application I built from scratch to generate these room mockups. From an airy coastal family room to a warm stone-and-timber great room and a mountain lodge, seeing it anchor these rooms brings that quiet, meditative air into focus.

When you take in that calm turquoise horizon, does it make you want to sit in peaceful reflection, or does it inspire you to pack a bag and explore the world?

10.13.2026 -- Would you believe this started as a simple camera capture?

"Vessels of Radiant Silence" brings a moody, meditative atmosphere to luxury living spaces, but its journey began far from home on February 24, 2022, in Ecuador—one of my favorite places on Earth!

How it came to life is a little bit of magic and a whole lot of custom code—no off-the-shelf apps or standard tools touched this piece. Using my own proprietary digital synthesis pipeline engineered from scratch with custom AI tools, I was able to elevate that initial organic moment into expansive statement art. Styled here in a Modern Farmhouse Open-Concept Living Room, the secret to the workflow is safely locked away, but for the curious minds out there, finding the puzzle pieces is half the fun. Be sure to swipe through the carousel to see the original Ecuador capture and the technical process behind the art!

10.11.2026 -- Would you believe this started as a simple aerial shot?

"Velvet Indigo Pulse" brings a moody, cinematic coastal atmosphere to executive boardrooms and luxury spaces, capturing a stunning lightning strike rolling across a serpentine shoreline.

How it came to life is a little bit of magic and a whole lot of custom code—no off-the-shelf apps or standard tools touched this piece. The secret is safely locked away, but for the curious minds out there, finding the puzzle pieces is half the fun.

10.11.2026 - Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I captured this peaceful sunrise at Redington Beach. I still remember how quiet the morning felt as that warm, golden light spilled over the pier. So grateful for these beautiful Gulf Coast memories. 🌅

10.11.2026 - Ever watch a dramatic coastal shelf cloud roll in and wish you could freeze that exact moment of raw energy forever? I reimagined one of my favorite local storm captures into this rich, tactile piece—translating fleeting weather into thick, sculptural palette-knife layers.

Instead of relying on expensive, traditional software like Photoshop or Firefly, I processed this entirely through my own custom-coded synthesis engine. So happy with how this one turned out in a modern coastal space!
