Lisa Kereszi



The photographer I chose is Lisa Kereszi.  She was born in 1973 in Pennsylvania and grew up in suburban Philadelphia.  She graduated from Bard College in 1995 after double-majoring in  literature/creative writing. After college she move to New York City to be an assistant for Nan Goldin. In 2000 she received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University School of Art in New Haven, Connecticut.  She has also traveled to Central asia and taught groups of artists though an exchange program. Her work is in many private collections and also in the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Altoids Curiously Strong Collection of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and many more.  She had a solo show in May 2002 and then again in March 2003 at Pierogi in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She was included in the 2003 list of 30 top emerging photographers by Photo District News.

I really like her work because it's all very unique and interesting.  The colours and the angles that the photos were taken at are very nice.  Im very fascinated by her work because its all so simple but fascinating at the same time.  Her photos seem to be taken at places that aren't visited often, and that's what makes them unique.  Some of the photos are a little more darker and some photos are very happy and joyful.  Lisa Kereszi's photos are very beautiful and she is a talented photographer who has achieved a lot.
