Gosh, she must have a thousand special color filters on her. Her images are poetic and her ability to capture her subjects with such emotion is uncanny. Her portraits capture an intimacy within her subjects, which surprises me and makes me feel a sense of nostalgia for the portraits location.

It's really difficult not to look at one of her images and not notice that the colors play as important a role in the pics as her subjects. They're just so bright that they enhance the shot.

She has many famous photos from India, but her shop also features images from Zanzibar and Tibet.

Dosa on Fillmore (upstairs section) and Roti Indian Bistro (West Portal and Burlingame) showcase her prints from India. I haven't seen her other prints elsewhere. Next time you're dining at either one of these restaurants  - look around the place and you'll know the wall prints are one of Lisa Kristine's, because you won't be able to stop looking at it. They're just captivating.

A quite stunning collection of 'dwellings' 'humanity' and 'water'.  Those are the three categories of her images per her website.  

A lot of us aspire to travel but most people will not travel to the places captured so beautifully by Lisa Kristine.  Visit her website or stop by here to see what I mean!

WOW!! The artist captures amazingly stunning photographs/images! Truly moves you and very though provoking with the most striking colors and techniques....

Her works are simply amazing, with images of The Great Wall of China, of dwelling images of Morocco, South Africa, Croatia, India, Turpan, Prague, etc. Each picture is so breathtaking and totally capturing the right essence and moments.

From the artist's website:
Lisa Kristine is a San Francisco based photographer specializing in images of remote indigenous peoples.  Initially spending nearly five years in Asia, she immersed herself in world philosophies and religions. Upon her return in 1988, she showed her first body of photographic work. For over 20 years, Lisa has documented in over 55 countries on six continents throughout the world and has been active in publications, galleries, foundations, museums and educational venues.
She has another gallery in Mendocino.

Amazing gallery containing an amazing photographer's work.  I think the  gallery is a little small for such stunning images though.  A larger space probably would showcase her work better.  The prints are very reasonably priced.  I bought a print and met Lisa at a street fair in SF.  She is really friendly and down to earth.
