About Lisa Keating
A photo shoot, at its best, is a partnership — a shared moment between photographer and subject where authenticity rises to the surface. Like a seasoned director working with an actor, Lisa Keating creates an atmosphere that disarms, encourages, and reveals the truth of a person. It’s why so many refer to her as an “actor’s director” in the world of photography.
Over the past 25 years, Lisa has photographed more than 10,000 actors and captured over 1.5 million images — each one guided by a simple, powerful goal: to reflect the individual’s unique spirit and help them move forward in their chosen path.
Her talent and commitment have earned her national accolades, including Best Headshot in the U.S. and Best Solo Entrepreneur in North America. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Essence, Fortune, Harvard Magazine, and more.
But for Lisa, it’s never been about the headlines. It’s about people. It’s about telling their stories — one frame at a time.
“I love my job because each client is unique and has their own story, their own dreams, personality, and reason for being photographed.” – Lisa Keating
