About

Lisa Kalloo is a visionary fine art photographer and multidisciplinary artist whose dynamic portfolio spans magazine photography, book covers, events, and workshops. Yet, her creative heart always returns to experimental photography, where she thrives on pushing boundaries. Her art is a bold exploration of gestures, angles, and mediums—digital, analog, and mixed media—often weaving old and new techniques, old and new cameras and lenses, to create work that is as innovative as it is thought-provoking.

Driven by a passion for universal expression, Lisa embraces the freedom and unpredictability of experimental photography as a language of connection and creativity. Her work transcends borders, ideas, and disciplines, establishing her as a communicator of artistic vision.

Her exhibitions have been displayed at the Turner Contemporary in collaboration with Southeastern Railway, on boards throughout Thanet railway stations also internationally, in Germany, Poland, Venice, and Romania. Lisa’s talent has earned recognition, including a Highly Commended accolade from the Ambit Magazine.

Lisa’s photography has been featured in The Queer Riveter, The Ramsgate Recorder, The Pictorialist. She has collaborated on literary and cultural events across Europe, capturing portraits and moments that tell compelling stories. Regularly, she contributes visual narratives to Poetry Travels, a poetry-in-translation column on the European Literature Network.

Her published works include Café by Wren’s St James-in-the-Fields, Lunchtime (Holland House Books, 2020), created in collaboration with poet Anna Błasiak and distributed in the UK and Poland. Her latest book, Deliverance, was released in September 2024, also from Holland House Books.

Through her lens, Lisa Kalloo transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, inspiring viewers to see the world from new perspectives.
