Lisa Wiseman

Lisa Wiseman’s portraits are simply timeless and very cinematic. Wiseman says she likes to make quiet photographs of small details and of “in-betweens,” moments that evoke a feeling that something has just happened or is about to. “I always want to make images that cause the viewer to stop and wonder what the story was,” she says. Yet Wiseman does not work with a specific narrative in mind.
Her eventual goal is to have a career like Larry Sultan’s or Todd Hido’s. “They are both fine-art photographers who have careers in which their style is parlayed effectively commercially,” she says. “I would love to be known as a fine-art photographer who also shot fashion, not the other way around.”
