About Lisa Russman

Lisa Russman is a commercial photographer and visual storyteller for global design brands.

Her goal is that each visual collection expresses exactly what her clients would like to say through imagery, and that it reflects their voice and message.

Her specialty weaves together her expertise as an interiors and architectural photographer with her background as a publicist in the museum world. At the start of her career, Lisa led major communications initiatives for museums, working with talented curators, architects, exhibit designers, journalists, and photographers around the globe. A growing interest in modern design and the decorative arts, along with a deep dive into digital photography and a desire to communicate visually, ushered in a new career. Collaborating with interior designers and architects, Lisa created thoughtfully planned visual sets of their work, each capture artfully conceived and sequenced as part of a complete and beautifully crafted story. Today, Lisa focuses her lens on the visual marketing needs of global design brands and includes such companies as Knoll, Industry West, and Fab Habitat as clients.

Lisa is equally comfortable talking about 20th-century iconic design and influential art movements as she is talking about lighting, color management, image retouching, digital capture, and imaging and industry tech. In 2022 she completed a graduate certificate in Digital Curation, giving her added expertise in best practices for museums in digital artifacts acquisition, metadata, digital collections management and accessibility, and preservation issues. She holds a B.A. in Art History from Tufts University.

Her work has been published in House Beautiful, Rue, Business of Home, AD Pro, My Domaine, One Kings Lane, Blueprint, and Aspire Design + Home. She is a professional member of the American Society of Media Photographers.

Lisa is known for her luminous, crisp compositions that transmit energy and celebrate natural light. Her images are meant to tell a story, and invite the viewer in to linger and stay a while.
