AWAKEN
THE SENSES

My Story

My Photographic Journey
My passion for capturing beautiful faces and life's moments has always driven me. Yet, like any creative journey, mine has had its share of challenges. After experiencing several creative dry spells, I found myself yearning for inspiration and renewal. This led me to Dollymount Beach in Dublin, Ireland—a place that has always held a special spot in my heart. With my camera in hand, I allowed myself to be fully present, immersing in the beauty and tranquility of the sea. It was in this moment of healing and escapism that my excitement and creativity were reignited.


A Sensing Journey

Photography reshapes my vision of the world and how I share that vision with others. Through my work, I aim to "Bring You on a Sensing Journey," inviting you to explore the beauty within and around us. I encourage being present, letting go of conventional perspectives, and embracing a more mindful approach.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) transforms familiar scenes into abstract visual art, capturing the essence and emotion of a moment. This technique allows me to express the dynamic interplay of colour, light, and movement, creating images that convey both feeling and sight. ICM gives me expressive freedom, breaking traditional photography rules to convey deeper emotions. It focuses on the mood and atmosphere, telling a unique visual story that invites viewers to experience the world in a new way. It constantly pushes the boundaries of my creativity, helping me find innovative ways to interpret the natural world.


Lessons from Photography

  • Be True to Yourself: Embrace your values and desires.

  • Look Deeper: Notice the small, often overlooked.

  • See Beauty Everywhere: Recognise that there is no such thing as bad light.

  • Appreciate Timelessness: Understand that beauty never expires.

Lisa captures the essence of what lives within the subjects that she shoots. Taking away the noise, her images pull you into a deep, authentic and serene connection with the living quality of the subject of her art and with yourself as the witness of the photos.  Her images are a loving and sincere tribute to the essence she captures of her subjects inviting you a mindful, blissful state of presence and beholding. Thank You, Vanessa Sheehan
