About Elizabeth Ryan

I'm a night photographer and light painter.  I'll often add light to the subject, or even draw with light tools.My gear includes the Nikon Z6 and Z6ii cameras (with Nikkor lenses) for their excellent noise control and ease of use.   One is converted to Infrared full spectrum, which I also use at night, primarily with a 590nm filter. I love the challenge and adventure of night photography.   


Elizabeth "Lisa" Ryan is  a night photographer and light painter.  The influence of her fine arts education can be seen in her use of light to draw and paint.  In addition to lighting landscapes at night, she creates scenes, including clothing the figure and creating night gardens from light.Ryan's photographs have been included in shows presented by the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester, MA, the Center for Photographic Arts, Carmel, CA and in many juried exhibits throughout the US.  She has curated group exhibits of night photography at the Front Street Gallery, Scituate, MA and the Art Complex Museum, Duxbury, MA.Her images have been featured in print and digital publications including NASA's APOD, "Recharge the Arts", a juried group exhibition on Instagram, Fraction Magazine, and the Literate Image.Ryan has been co-organizer of the Greater Boston  Night Photographers Meetup Group since 2014.
