Liz Huston of Venice, California has been a photographer for nearly 17 years. Her imagery finds its power in the emotional realm. Whether she is photographing the natural world or people; the dreamy landscape of her inner world is always making its presence known.

In 2005, her first book, entitled “Sacred ~ New Orleans Funerary Grounds” was published by Photomonium Press. The book was incredibly well received and is now in its 3rd printing. 2008 was another career making year for Elizabeth as her second book "At the Threshold of Life" was released. In mid-2010, look for her third book, "To Dance With Memory" to be released.

From the Artist
I've never really thought about why I am a professional photographer. Truly, photography is the part of my life that has always just fit; happily, joyously. I do it because the joy I feel when I am photographing people, places or things is so deep a joy - it is almost palpable. When I am engaged in creating a photograph, the entire world melts away and all that matters is me and what I see through the lens.

In my personal pursuit of photographic knowledge I experimented with many different techniques, cameras and films. I grew to love alternative processes more than anything – I loved the surreal aspect of these techniques. It was as if it gave the images a new language, and I was entranced. I installed a darkroom in my home and in time perfected darkroom techniques as varied as standard printing to toning and solarization. I love being in the darkroom. It is the experience of watching an image unfold before my very eyes which shaped my relationship with the camera and her imagery.

I moved from the standard realm of 35mm into more expressive routes: the realm of pinhole photography, toy cameras, Polaroid transfers, infrared films, medium format and 4x5. I have a deep respect and love for the history of photography and collect antique photographs of all kinds.

These days I have joined the digital revolution and shoot primarily digitally using the magnificent Canon 5DMarkII. Though on occasion, I will experiment with film now and again for my personal work.

My love of photography translates into each image I capture. I am honored and deeply grateful every day to have a career that I love and enjoy so much.

Thank you for your interest in my work. I look forward to collaborating with you to realize your own photographic vision and needs!
