Isa Leshko

Isa Leshko- Photography

This world-famous photographer has been published in many prestigious newspapers and magazines and has won multiple awards such as Prix de la Photographie and Paris Awards. She is represented by three gallaries: one in San Francisco, one in Houston, and one in Albuquerque.


My favorite series that she has done is Elderly Animals. This is my favorite photograph from that series; a 28 year old Embden Goose.

 Isa is an inspiration to me because her work focuses on that beyond conceptual. Photography is a visual art, and oftentimes becomes more conceptual than visual. My work can sometimes be conceptual, but the reason I enjoy photography is because it doesn't always need a concept. Sometimes photos are just meant to be pleasing to look at. My photographs, especially those that focus on antiques, are about the object, not the concept. The objects I choose carefully and thoughtfully. They are places in ways that are very thought out. I don't like my photographs take chances.
