My photography is about transitions, in-between spaces, and liminal moments. I explore 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 ask 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. I have been honored with numerous awards including being selected as one of PDN’s 30 in 2009. On a personal note, I live in San Francisco where I enjoy collecting photography books and contemporary art.
And indeed, first you have the feeling that the photo is not finished, that something has to happen. Later you realize that you are the one to imagine and let the creativity flow about what happens next. Some moments are really fascinating, mainly because of their simplicity and sincerity. These moments happen every second, but are never caught on film and when you see Lisa’s works, you have a strange feeling for a moment that till now something hasn’t been done right in photography.
I dare to say that Lisa Wiseman is one of the photographers to set the trend for a new direction in fine art photography and for sure is among the most popular artists of this genre for the moment. You might want to check out her book Something Like Home and her tumblr blog at lisawiseman.tumblr.com where Lisa posts a lot of great stuff.
