There’s no such thing as Flickr Pro today because [with so many people taking photographs] there’s really no such thing as professional photographers anymore.

Oh my goodness… this is so disheartening.

A good picture doesn’t give us all the answers. It makes you have to stop and look and start feeling for yourself.

permalink Ohmigosh!! It’s my very first billboard!

Apparently these babies are everywhere (yay!) and I’m quite excited to see all 12 different layouts! Please drop me a note with the location if you see one so that I can pop by.
Now… on to the real stuff. Shooting with Eleven Inc. for AAA was a dream. These people were truly amazing to work with. They got up at the crack of dawn, hustled, finessed tight schedules and handled last minute requests with ease. They had smiles on their faces the entire time and were just the best crew I could ever have asked for. Drumroll please….

I think the most outstanding thing about him is his ability to extract things from people - to manipulate them, in a way - to get the pictures that he wants. He doesn’t take a picture of something that already exists. He gets in his mind what he wants from someone and he directs them.

Thanks spankmag for the photo-interview!

Lisa Wiseman. I love photography like breathing. Generally I shoot advertising and editorial portraiture.  I collect art and recently created The 30Love, a world-wide creative project. I used to teach piano and I’m a pilates addict. Hand-written cards float my boat. 

Find Lisa on her websites www.lisawiseman.com and www.lisawisemanweddings.com and on her tumblr.
