One of my favourite live music pics I’ve ever taken! Taken at one of the last gigs I went to at the old Palace theatre on Bourke street before they pulled it down! Was by far the best Melbourne venue of all time…If you know, you know! Questlove // The Roots - Melbourne 🥁

Hi, I’m Lisa 🙋🏻♀️ a Melbourne-based music and portrait photographer. I work with musicians, artists, and creatives who want photos that look bold & unique but still feel real.
I shoot entirely on location because I’m drawn to real, lived-in spaces. They’re more authentic, more interesting, and never the same twice. Rooftops, carparks, homes, theatre’s, laneways… that’s where the good stuff happens! 🤩
My approach? I make shoots feel like hanging out with a friend. I’ll guide you the whole way so you look your best… relaxed, confident, and like you. The whole experience should feel fun, not scary.
My job is to capture you, not a version of you! BUT if your alter ego’s dying to come out, I’m 100% here for it… and I’ll make it iconic! ⚡️
If you’re a musician or creative who’s been thinking about updating your photos, now’s the time. Only three sessions left between now and Christmas.
Wanna work together? 🥳

A cute, quaint home in Northcote…shot entirely on 35mm film and iPhone! ✨
I love shooting on location because it challenges me to work with the space and uncover little pockets of magic. For this session I mixed in a few phone frames for fun, but it’s the raw, timeless quality of film that always shines through. Can you tell which is which? 👀

People sometimes assume there’s a whole team behind a creative business… but for a lot of us, it’s just one person doing it all! 😜
The emails, the bookings, the creative direction, the styling, the shoot, the editing, the socials, the admin… all of it.
And while AI and automation are changing so much about the creative industry, I think now more than ever there’s real value in supporting actual humans who are making actual art! 🙌🏼
Real connection. Real ideas. Real creative energy.
Behind every small business is usually just a person who’s been creative their whole life, trying to build something meaningful out of what they love.
If you’re a musician, artist or creative wanting to shoot this year, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s work together! X 📸 🩷⚡️

More from my recent shoot with The Mavis’s 📸✨
This one felt really special to be part of. We shot these images around the release of their beautiful new single Heaven, a song I connected with instantly the first time I heard it! 😇
You know those songs that just hit you straight away and make you feel something deeply? That was this one for me. It has such a nostalgic, emotional feel. I actually teared up the first time I heard it!
I’m so grateful to create these images for such an iconic band and to capture a little piece of this release.
I have a couple of sessions available before I take a little break and go on holidays - Sunday 19th and Friday 24th April. Message me if you’re interested x 🩷⚡️

New work for the Hornstars 📸🎶
This was such a fun one. These guys are honestly just the most delightful mixed bag of lollies… all so different, all so unique, and each bringing something special to the band.
We shot around St Kilda at sunset and it honestly couldn’t have been more perfect. Soooo much fun.
I’ve got a session available on Sunday 12th April if anyone’s been meaning to book and wants to snap it up! Message me x 🩷⚡️

This shoot was so special to me! 💖 At the end of last year I received an enquiry to photograph The Mavis’s for their new music and upcoming gigs… and honestly, I had a full wait… what? moment!
Like so many of us who came of age in the late 90s / early Y2K, they were everything. I still remember the first time I heard Thunder & that instant obsession. Seeing Beki & Matt at festivals, on Recovery, on TV screens glowing late at night… they weren’t just a band, they were a feeling. When Cry came out in ’98 it was everywhere. Every house party. Every living room. Someone always had Pink Pills playing. It was the soundtrack to an era!
Fast forward to now… and getting to create with them was an absolute career highlight. Beki & Matt are genuinely some of the loveliest humans I’ve ever met. They’re kind, grounded & effortlessly cool. From the moment we started shooting it honestly felt like I’d known them for years. Everything felt easy, relaxed and familiar, which is the best place to create from. This shoot was joyful, fun and such a delight. The best kind of people to photograph. I still can’t quite believe it! 💓💓💓
I was lucky enough to hear their new single on the shoot before its release, and like its title… it is pure Heaven. You’re all going to love it!! More images from this shoot coming soon which are some of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken. 🥰
Heaven is out in 2 days. Follow @themaviss.official & listen on repeat xx 💋 🩷⚡️

Before Christmas I had the pleasure of shooting the Concord Music Publishing Christmas party! 📸
Maisie from The Belair Lip Bombs treated us to the most magical little sunset acoustic set. 🌞 It was one of those hypnotic “stand still and take it in” kind of moments. I felt really lucky to witness (and capture) it.
I’ve got a few shoots from late last year I never shared, so I’m starting there… easing back into things after a bit of an extended Summer break. More soon x 🩷⚡️

Helloooo, just checking in because I’ve been a bit quiet on here! 🙋🏻♀️
The last few weeks (okay… months) have been insanely busy. Running the business, shooting, editing, admin… mixed in with personal stuff, social stuff, and just life in general. Emotionally, mentally & physically draining in that slow-burn way where you keep pushing… until your body is like, hi 👋🏻 can we please rest now? 😴
Between everything going on around us, the constant stream of information and shit we’re all being force-fed online, I needed to step back for a bit and focus on my clients and give my nervous system a break! Sometimes stepping away really is the best thing you can do for your creativity & mental health… even if the algorithm doesn’t love it! 🩷
I’ve just wrapped my last shoot and still have editing to get through, but I’m very much looking forward to slowing down and spending some quality time with family and friends.
Wishing everyone a beautiful Christmas and a gentle end to the year. Feeling grateful, and excited to create more in 2026! 🎄🎅🏽❤️
This portrait of me was taken by the one and only Tony Mott 📸 who is my photography idol! I’ll share more about that experience soon! ✨ xxx

More photos from my shoot with Azzurra! 📸
The last slide was the inspo for this whole shoot… a Beyoncé portrait she sent me that was taken outside a little house in Brunswick, right here in Melbourne! As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly where to shoot. I live nearby and my neighbourhood is full of these quirky, quaint houses that ooze character. The kind of places most people walk past and never really notice… but I’m obsessed with them. 😍
Loved this shoot so much! Honestly… I just LOVE my neighbourhood. Wandering these little streets feels so special and charming. ✨
Quick update: I’m fully booked before Christmas and taking a much needed break until the 9th Jan.
Now booking mid-Jan / Feb!

No context. Just a photo I took recently and really love 🥰 Neon Goblin, captured on iPhone.
Honestly… fuck the algorithm. Can we please go back to sharing photos? 🤷🏻♀️

Summer is coming and I’m saying yes to more shoots in and near the water! 💦 I might be a city gal… but I’m my calmest, most grounded self when I’m by (or in) the ocean, and that energy always translates into the photos! ☺️
There’s something about water that softens everything. The light. The pace. The way people show up in front of the camera.
Only one session left before Christmas! Saturday 13th December. Who wants it? x 📸
