About Lisa

classLisa's love affair with photography began when she was 15 and her father bought a beautiful Nikon camera, which she convinced him to allow her to use. At 16 she won her first national photography competition.

Lisa gained a Master of Arts degree from Auckland University and in her free time continued with her photography, specialising in black and white imagery.

She has worked as a darkroom technician and as an assistant for a fashion photographer in the US. She has travelled extensively, living in France, the US, and Uzbekistan (Central Asia). She speaks several languages and has a deep fascination for other cultures.

While living in the US Lisa completed a Certificate in Professional Photography from the New York Institute of Photography. She is also a qualified member of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography.

Now happily based home in NZ with her husband and two young children, Lisa is living her dream of creating beautiful portraits that bring joy to the subjects and provide their families with cherished images.

About our services

At ImageMe, we do not believe that one size fits all. Our portraits are the result of a creative collaboration between us and you, our client.

This process begins with a free consultation. During a relaxed chat over coffee, we will discuss what you want from your portrait. Some clients have a very clear idea of what they hope to achieve, others have only a vague idea. During your initial consultation you are welcome to browse our collection of beautiful photography books for inspiration. You may also wish to bring along pictures from magazines or other sources that you would like to emulate. Either way, you can be sure that the combination of your preferences and our creative vision will produce a result that will exceed your expectations.

Following this initial consultation, we will schedule a portrait session. Our portrait sessions and prints are reasonably priced. For more details, please contact us.

Technical

At ImageMe we use top of the line equipment to create images of the highest quality.

We use a Canon 5D, a professional digital SLR camera, with L-series lenses. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=11933



We use an Elinchrom studio lighting system. www.elinchrom.com



We believe that photographs are treasures that should be passed down to future generations.

Our images are printed on an Epson Stylus printer which uses the new generation of inks, Ultrachome K3 inks. These inks give spectacular results in black and colour prints. They have enhanced longevity, meaning that your prints will last for longer. Visit for more information. http://www.epson.co.jp/e/technology/ultrachromek3/introduction/index.html



We print our images on the best paper available: Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl paper. Hahnemuhle is a German company founded in 1584. Their Fine Art Pearl paper is acid-free, making it extremely long-lasting. Hahnemuhle's Digital Fine Art Collection won the category 'Best Fine Art Inkjet Paper' in 2005 in the TIPA European Photo & Imaging Awards. Hahnemuhle is the paper of choice for many fine art photographers who create images for collectors and museums. http://www.hahnemuehle.com/site/en/316/digital-fineart-collection.html



By combining Ultrachrome K3 inks and Hahnemuhle acid-free papers, we offer clients prints with very high archival qualities.
