Lisa Marshall lives and works in San Jose, CA. In 2022, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography from San Jose State University. She has contributed to multiple group exhibitions and had her first solo exhibition, Come Together, at SJSU in March 2022. She is currently working on another group exhibition coming October 2022 to Wheelhouse of Willow Glen (www.wheelhousewg.com).
Marshall uses photography as a way to document her life, community, and culture. Through her lens, she is able to experience the world in a bold and vulnerable way, sharing that experience with the viewer. Her subjects influence the way she approaches her work, allowing her to escape her comfort zone and become a part of someone else’s story. She makes photographs that stir up emotion and curiosity, and are inspired by her environment and self-reflection. Lisa is a Grad Student at San Jose State University, scheduled to graduate with a Master of Art in Teaching in 2023 - Spartan Up!
I specialize in one thing - family portraiture. I make photos to remember an experience and an emotion. It's not just about offering image files and prints - it's about reliving a time period in your life. That is what makes your photos an investment. I draw inspiration from the subject and location, making every session organic and unique. I love the outdoors, especially the ocean, which is why all of my sessions take place in nature, using natural light.
