Lisa Powers

I am French-born of French/Italian/British lineage. I moved to New York with my family when I was ten years old and have since lived in Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Florence, Tokyo and currently live and work in New Zealand.
I’ve had my work published in several international magazines and photography annuals. I’ve worked with celebrities for movie posters and publicity; travelled extensively for Art&Antiques magazine editorials, and photographed fashion catalogues and ads for Bloomingdales and Macy’s. I’ve worked with musicians for CD covers and film directors for movie one-sheets.
My photography career started in advertising and fashion, winning several major awards including Distinctions from The Royal Photographic Society, UK and American Photography.
Since relocating to New Zealand, I’ve shifted from commercial photography to Photographic Art, combining my film photography with elements of digital enhancements.
