Lisa Crandall, photographer and managing director
People Photographer of the Year, Iris Professional Photography Awards 2008.
Lisa'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, and photographed her first wedding.
Lisa completed a Master of Arts degree from Auckland University. 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).
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. She also teaches workshops for photographers.
Her work has featured on the cover and in a six-page spread in D-Photo, as well as in Metro, Good Magazine, Photographer's Mail, ProDesign, NZ Life and Leisure and Her Magazine. |
