A photo shoot is a collaborative effort, not unlike film making, where the photographer gives muse to the model in order to capture a timeless image. A great photographer creates a disarming environment that brings out organic expressions. It is for this reason Lisa Keating is often regarded as an “actor’s director” in the craft of photography.

Lisa Keating is one of the most prolific photographers for performing artists in California, having photographed over 10,000 actors for their acting headshots and 1,500,000 images in the past 25 years. Behind every click of the button is a goal to capture the individual’s personality and ultimately help the client reach a higher level of success in their chosen field.

Lisa established her name in the industry early in her career when she won the 2004 award for Best Headshot in the United States. Recently, her overwhelming reviews in Genbooks won her Best Solo Entrepreneur in North America.
