About Lisa

Lisa Factora-Borchers

Photography is the art of evoking emotion through memory and image. My passion for photography lies in the simple truth that the purity of color and image has the power to convey a thousand words. Whether it's a wedding in Ohio, the lights of Vegas, children in their living room, or a protest in the Philippines, my photography is about capturing the disarming beauty found in the art of daily life.

My journey to photography first began as a writer. The written word is a powerful tool to tell a story. And then I picked up a camera. Similarly to a writer, a photographer must be mindful of where to place the focus while knowing exactly when to capture it. With a photojournalistic style, I document the grains of detail to accurately and artistically freeze the mood and ambiance of the moment.

When I am not behind the lens of a camera, I am writing creative non-fiction and doing freelance work. I am a sections editor for Make/Shift magazine, an independent publication that focuses on contemporary feminisms and gender issues. When leisure time comes around, I can usually be found laughing with family, reading something I'll probably never finish, and planning either a trip or to save the world.

Welcome to my site and I'd love to work with you!

FAQ

Where are you based?
I live and work primarily in Cleveland, Ohio but I often and easily travel throughout Ohio, particularly to the Cincinnati and Columbus areas.

When is payment due?
For weddings, a $400 non-refundable fee is needed to secure your date. The balance is due the day of the event.

Where are the portraits shot?
The best photos are taken when the subject is relaxed and comfortable. Therefore, all portraits are done in what is called "lifestyle photography." Meaning, instead of a uniformed row of posed faces, I capture the image in either your home or a location of your choice to bring out the natural character of you, your family, or relationship.

What should I wear for portraits?
Choose colors that compliment your skin tone and also make you feel comfortable. Steer clear of heavy patterns or busy prints. Simplicity goes a long way and always come out classic.
