you name it I can do it!. Lisa Trocchi Photography has been in business for 27 years as a professional photographer- model portfolio photographer,wedding photographer and over the last few years as a real estate photographer.Based in Johannesburg Lisa  prefers to travel to clients rather than operate from a studio.I do have access to a studio in Linden however, if studio photography is required.My website www.lisa4photography gives a full description of the categories I photograph - food, families, preggies, industrial and corporate, weddings, products and food photography as well as school photography.

Born in Johannesburg South Africa, Lisa returned home after much travel, having had her start in the world of professional photography as a publicity photographer to stars such as Eric Roberts, Leon Schuster, Embeth Davidtz and Evita Bezuidenhout. Lisa owned two photographic studios, in Cape Town and Joburg respectively, providing make-up artistes, hair experts and retouchers to enhance model portfolios and family portraits. Pleasure Karen, you have a beautiful guest house and professional photos make all the difference to any subject! If you wanted photographs, you had your own camera with the prerequisite roll of film and you pressed the shutter and prayed, or in more special circumstances, you hired a professional photographer. If you hire a professional photographer to cover your event, they have to jostle along with the rest of the crowd, to get you to look in their direction. It’s absolutely wonderful that people who could not afford a camera or a photographer, are now able to document their lives in a way that they never could before.In South Africa, the only photo that many people had of their deceased parents was the ID photo in their identity books. That said there need to be social rules for situations where a professional photographer is hired to cover an event. They are the showcase of the bold and the best in the the Point of Purchase Advertising industry. The comedian and MC Dave Levinsohn, kept everyone amused and entertained with his quick banter and off the cuff comments. Nobody likes seeing their photograph with someone else’s name as caption! Snap quizz -how many ways are there to spell Stuart? Another important aspect of event photography is to avoid people’s backs to camera, people eating or generally not looking their best. Despite their high heels, the ladies managed to climb up parts of the bridge and still look glamorous. Nowadays more and more people are working on improving their physical fitness and once they can see good results, they want to document their improvement with good photographs. Some people need photos of their bods because they are entering physical fitness competitions, while others may just have started in on their New Years resolutions to tone up and slim down. These photos are not something you can do as a selfie or something a friend can do for you if you want the best results. You need proper professional photographic lighting from the most advantageous angles ie lighting from the side and or from above to show texture. That’s all very well for the body, but that type of lighting can be a little harsh on the face. So the ultimate formula is soft lighting on the face and harder top or side lighting on the body. Additional suggestions: Distraction free background, baby oil smoothed evenly on the body, with a mixture of glycerine and water spritzed on top of the oil. Photographing wildlife is similar in some ways to photographing children. You either need to be really close to them or you need a long enough lens to bring them really close to you! Don’t get between a baby and it’s parent and don’t get between a hippo and a waterhole. Hippos kill more people than any other wild animal although you would never think that to look at them.
