In 2009 Lise graduated from the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography with a Certificate in Commercial Photography. Her passion for photography started by photographing horses, which is still one of her favorite subjects. For a number of years, Lise worked as a freelance photographer; special mention should be given to the brilliant Melissa Dietstein (van Zyl) who gave Lise her first intern/shadowing opportunity after her photographic studies. Since 2017, Lise has been focusing on her accounting career.
Melissa was also kind enough to provide Lise’s profile photos as seen on this site.
