Lisa Wiseman, San Francisco, California
Lisa Wiseman is a San Francisco-based photographer. ”My photography is about transitions, in-between spaces, and liminal moments. I love exploring the image as the quiet pause between the before and after. I shoot fashion and portraiture with a fine art eye, often honing in on subtle details of the model or the garment instead of showing the whole person. Through a deliberate use of cropping, I create a narrative that focuses on elements that sometimes go unnoticed. My images often have a cinematic film-still quality, which makes the viewer feel connected yet voyeuristic. I want the viewer to create their own end to the story.
“I have always been fascinated by deconstructed and collective memories, cultural nostalgia, and identity formation. The intersection of these things informs and shapes my photography. I am currently shooting editorial work, fashion, portraiture, and fine art projects. I work in digital mediums (both SLR and using my iPhone camera for my New Polaroid project) and in film using Polaroid 600. On a personal note, I live in San Francisco where I enjoy collecting photography books and contemporary art.”
