About Me

My photo
Lisa and Tom Cuchara
Lisa & Tom love any chance they get to take photographs! "Photography gives us superpowers, lol, we can freeze time. We appreciate the world around us and embrace the challenge of interpreting what our eyes and heart see via the camera lens.” Email us to inquire about our photo classes, photo workshops and photo tours, to present a program and/or workshop for your group, or to purchase ART to hang on the walls of your home or business: photographybyLisaAndTom [at] comcast.net. Lisa & Tom are known for their expertise in Photography, and in Photoshop, and for their inspirational and informative photo tours, classes, and workshops. They both have created numerous award-winning photographic images and enjoy sharing their vision, passion, and knowledge with other people. They have published two books with Amherst Media: “Create Fine Art Photographs from Historic Places and Rusty Things” (about their HDR and light painted images) http://tinyurl.com/lisatom-urbex and “The Frog Whisperer” http://tinyurl.com/lisatom-frogs.
