Meet the Photographer
Greetings!
Lisa Whitlock here of Queen's Ransom Photos 22 (QRP22). The name of my business was influenced by my love for yellow roses, particularly one of my favorites called "King's Ransom." I was born and raised in northern California. I'm also a college graduate of Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, CA where the "Learn by Doing" motto inspired me to start my own photography business. I specialize in fine art landscape photography.
My passion for photography began in high school when I purchased my first 35mm film camera. I've always loved capturing the natural beauty around us and will often take the path less traveled to get that lucky shot! My curiosity and joy in being outside with a camera has led me to some of the most amazing places. Recently, my climate and health photograph was selected for exhibition in the National Environmental Health Association's 2025 Environmental Public Health Photography Contest: Framing Environmental Public Health Challenges at their Annual Educational Conference (AEC) in Phoenix, Arizona.
In 2024, I partnered with TurningArt to publish 10 photographs in the TurningArt catalog as Open Edition prints.
In 2023, the National Environmental Health Association awarded me Second Place in the Healthy Communities or Focused Populations category and showcased my photo at the AEC in New Orleans, Louisiana. That same year, I also received Honorable Mention from the Image Flow Photography Center in San Anselmo, California for Photo of the Month -October 2023 in their Dark Exhibition. The selected work, titled Good Luck, appears in my Halloween Collection. My photography has also been featured in multiple Las Laguna Gallery online exhibitions, including:
May 2024 - Botanical: Best of Luck
January 2024 - Black, White, or Gray: A Peaceful Pastime
December 2023 - Small Works: Jack (Halloween Collection)
November 2023 - Flash Point: After the Blaze
October 2023 - Art That Tells Stories: Survival
My work showcases diverse perspectives and artistic design, exploring themes from environmental challenges to imaginative storytelling. My hope is you will be inspired by my photos and want to have one that you can admire for many years. I offer fine art prints available for purchase in the following collections: Abstract, Black and White, Desert, Halloween, Lake Tahoe, Seascape, and Tropical.
Through my art, I strive not only to inspire but also to advocate for the preservation of our natural treasures. Each collection serves as a reminder of nature's elegance and with our effort can remain pristine for years to come. It's a call to action for all to become stewards of our planet. Together we can make a difference for future generations.
Cheers,
Lisa
