ABOUT (Copy)
Lisa Guerriero grew up in the smoggy suburbs of Los Angeles, California after emigrating from Canada with her family.
At the age of nineteen, she started working in the movie and television industry as a Camera Assistant. She turned to photography seven years ago, leaving the fictional world of motion pictures, to begin her long-term 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. She has exhibited in group shows across the US, Australia, Germany, Poland, and Austria. In 2018, Lisa was a Critical Mass Top 200 Finalist and won First Place in both The 2017 Street Photography exhibit at The Gilb Museum of Photography and The Curated Fridge Summer Show.
Her passion for equality and diversity has extended into her volunteerism as the current National Chair of the Health and Welfare Committee and former National Co-Chair of The Diversity Committee for The International Cinematographers Guild, Local 600.
“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
