Wellness brand photographer Melbourne

BEHIND THE LENS


Hi, I’m Lisa Ray.

I’m a photographic artist and professional photographer based in Brisbane, Australia.

My work spans from delicate floral still-life compositions to portraits and storytelling images for wellness practitioners, creatives, and personal brands. Across all my work, I aim to capture the story, presence, and care inherent in every moment.

My fine art photography is inspired by nature, spirituality, and the subtle energy of life - I focus on creating images that evoke feeling, stillness, and emotion. 

This sensibility informs every commercial session I undertake. Whether I’m photographing a client in their studio, capturing a wellness practitioner at work, or telling the story of a creative project, I create calm, collaborative experiences that allow natural moments to shine.

My approach is intuitive, thoughtful and grounded. Drawing on a background in yoga and meditation, I cultivate spaces where people feel safe, seen, and free to express themselves naturally. Each session is tailored to your unique style, environment, and audience, ensuring images that are authentic, considered, and full of life.

I’ve exhibited widely and continue to offer fine art prints through my online store. I work with clients, collectors, and aligned brands who value quiet presence, authenticity, and storytelling through imagery.

Whether you’re interested in a personal brand session, wellness photography, or fine art, my goal is to create work that reflects the heart of your practice, project, or vision with images that connect, inspire, and endure.

Every session and artwork is an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect, revealing the quiet beauty, energy, and emotion that exists in the world around us.
