ABOUT
Lisa Guerriero grew up in the smoggy suburbs of Los Angeles, California after emigrating from Canada with her family.
After attending Hollywood High School Performing Arts Magnet she started working on Motion Pictures as a Camera Assistant. Eight years ago, she left that fictional world behind to begin her first personal documentary project.
Passionate about people and their stories, Lisa creates photographs that are sensitive studies of life within communities and subcultures throughout small-town America.
Her Americana work has been published in The Guardian, Huffington Post, Wired, Roadtrippers Magazine, and Feature Shoot and she has exhibited in group shows across the US and Europe.
Lisa’s recent projects blend photography, collage, and found images. Very much interested in the notion of pushing boundaries, she explores taboo topics such as depression and aging with intimacy and builds visual narratives blending documentary work with an artistic and personal approach.
Equality and diversity are of great importance to her. She continues to volunteer as the National Chair of the Health and Welfare Committee for the International Cinematographers Guild, IATSE Local 600 and formerly served as the National Co-Chair of the Diversity Committee.
“The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.” Susan Meisalas
