Lisa Isted

Lisa lives in Holcombe and has been taking photographs since the age of 7, when she was given a 120 roll-film Brownie camera for her birthday. She has always specialised in landscape work, and is especially interested in exploring rhythmic forms and the effects of changing light on the landscape, resulting in some strikingingly 'abstract' pictures. Her work also includes photography for University publications, weddings and wedding anniversary photography and, most recently the pictures for the Holcombe Village Design Statement. She is also currently working on a commission to photograph monasteries in the UK for a book to be published by Yale University Press. Lisa now uses digital equipment for much of her work, but also still favours both 35mm and medium format film, although her current roll-film camera is a little more sophisticated than the Brownie.....

When she is not making photographs, she works as an Assistant Registrar and Head of the Graduate Office in the Academic Registry at the University of Bath, and is a Parish Councillor in Holcombe.
