The Compelling Image

Lisa Wiltse

Born in the U.S. in 1977, Lisa currently bases herself in La Paz, Bolivia.  She is drawn to the young, poor and the powerless whose voices deserve to be heard. Compelled to work with people who are on the fringes of society, Lisa is particularly interested in telling stories of childrens' lives around the world.  In her words, "They have a raw intelligence and creativity that adults can listen to and learn from."

"I would like to think that my stories will improve the lives of the people I photograph. I try to reflect their everyday lives and promote a dialogue and understanding among people."

Lisa's clients include: TIME magazine, Internazionale, Private Photo Review, German Geo, Fader, Unicef, Double H Ranch, The Australian Financial Review, The Sydney Morning Herald, among other.
