About Lisa Whiteman
I'm an independent photographer based in Los Angeles, California. Lisa Whiteman Lens is my photography portfolio.
I primarily photograph people; I document everything from significant moments to smaller, more spontaneous ones. I'm equally at home shooting formally posed portraits, documenting events, and capturing people in candid, private moments -- on the street, at work, or wherever my subject appears most comfortable.
One of my natural strengths as a photographer, I think, is an ability to make people feel very at ease in front of the camera, which is important in creating a natural sense of intimacy between the viewer and the subject. I sincerely love taking pictures, and as a result, I bring a considerable amount of energy to my work. I carry a camera with me everywhere, and when I'm not taking pictures on assignment, I spend a lot of time photographing family, friends, and strangers.
My photographs have appeared in advertisements, films, and publications, including GQ, Marie Claire, Interview Magazine, Salon.com, and The New York Times; on album covers, book jackets and commercial web sites; and in restaurant and museum exhibits. Recently, my photos were included the Transformed by Light: The New York Night exhibit at The Museum of the City of New York.
When not shooting on my own, I help shoot weddings with Docuvitae, a Los Angeles-based photography studio.
If you'd like to purchase my photos or if you're interested in hiring me, you can take care of that here. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and am open to taking on a wide variety of photo projects, large and small.
Please ask before using my photos for any reason. (Thanks!)
