Lisa Powers Photographic Artist Information

Ethereal, enigmatic,  surrealistic, mysterious and engaging, Lisa Powers' photographs could have been plucked out of a continuous narrative in their filmic storytelling.  One can often imagine a moment just before and a moment, perhaps unanticipated, about to happen.  Her direction of the models closely resembles a movie director, but without the benefits of dialogue and motion to capture a scene. Powers' images are silent and frozen, yet they speak to the viewer with a gently seductive voice, inviting the viewer to complete the scene.              She offers only the clues. " The photographic image allows the viewer to linger and stare, pulling the story from the frame... and the story is mutable... it can differ slightly with each viewing."                                                                   - Lisa Powers
