In 1945 Lyons became interested in photography after viewing a darkroom demonstration and he began to photograph with a plastic Falcon camera while working in his family’s glass and mirror business. In 1947 he received a camera as a graduation gift and between 1947-48 he photographed around Times Square, New York and assisted various photographers. From 1948-50 Lyons enrolled at New York State Agricultural and Technical Institute, Alfred, New York where he studied business and marketing. In 1950 he withdrew from business classes and chose instead to take creative writing and philosophy courses at Alfred University. The same year he enlisted in the United States Air Force as a photographer and reported to Grenier Air Force Base in Manchester, New Hampshire. Between 1951-53 he served as senior photographer in a photo intelligence unit in Kimpo, Korea and was recommended for a Bronze Star Medal for his work in establishing a mobile photographic reconnaissance unit.
In 1953 Lyons returned to the United States and worked for the Air Force as a staff news writer and public relations photographer in Marietta, Georgia. In 1954 following honorable discharge from the Air Force he enrolled at Alfred University where he majored in English literature and minored in Theatre. He also studied photography and exhibition design with the artist John Wood who became his primary mentor and an influential force behind Lyons’s creative practice.〔
