Elizabeth Lytle is a photographic artist whose expressionistic and surreal work explores transition, perception, and the emotional charge of the natural world.

Based in the Sierra Foothills of California.

Help Me Learn How to Photograph People

If you are open to a 45-minute portrait session in and around your home, please let me know. Sessions are free to those in the Auburn area. if you are outside of the Auburn area, I’m happy to come to you if you can cover my travel expenses!

I’ve taken thousands, okay, tens of thousands, of images of landscapes and other things that don’t move (much) and am now finding that I want to capture our experience of being human a little more directly. I have a lot to learn about how to capture our essence and emotion through camera work. The session may not result in greatness, but it is sure to involve laughter and appreciation!
