ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER My name is Lisa Kyle Young and I have always enjoyed photography ever since I was given my first Brownie Reflex from my father for a trip to New York City when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Since then the cameras and technology have changed but my passion for photography lives on. I graduated with a Computer Science degree from University of California, Irvine and worked in the international professional IT environment for many, many years before moving into photography full time. I currently shoot both on location and in a studio environment. I enjoy experimenting with different lenses and different photographic techniques for both the challenge and the education. I received my photography training from the New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) and frequently attend photography workshops and seminars to help expand my knowledge and provide new inspiration. I enjoy all types of digital multimedia and use Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Encore DVD. I feel the inspiration for my multimedia work comes not only from other photographers and designers but also from my own photography.
