"I'm not trying to show you a mugshot of a guitar; I'm trying to show you the soul."

With an amazing eye for detail, extremely friendly personality and infectious smile, Lisa is the epitome of 'Rock Star', travelling the world, attending concerts, handling some of the most iconic and recognizable guitars in the music business. The distinct wear and tear on the guitars are magnified on the pages of her book. Every scratch and dent could tell a story. The intimacy between photographer and guitar creates a perfect backdrop that results in rich, alluring images. Her photographs speak for themselves, however some of the subjects she has photographed are more than eager to comment on the extraordinary images of their own guitars.

In July 2014, we had the honour of reviewing the incredible 108 Rock Star Guitars book. You can read that full review: HERE
Lisa has become a dear friend of ours and it's always exciting to see what event or show that she will be attending next. Definitely an adventure living vicariously through her. She's been working hard photographing more guitars that will be included in the next volume of 'Rock Star Guitars'. John 5, Joe Perry, B.B.King to name a few. If it's even half as incredible, as the first Volume is..we are all in for a treat.
Special thanks to Lisa for being an incredible, beautiful person, inside and out. She has an amazing soul that welcomes everyone into her 'rock and roll' life. Wishing you all the success with 108 Rock Star Guitars and beyond.
