The result is a collection of images, each with a timeless quality - ghosts from a mysterious past - yet subjects that are very much in the here and now. With medium format film, I have a limited amount of time to get a shot, and only know if I’ve succeeded after I’ve developed a roll in the darkroom cupboard under my stairs. From there, the negatives are scanned, touched up with a very light hand and professionally printed onto archival paper.  2008-07-27T12:15:00+00:00 http://www.lisadearaujo.com/index.php/site/the_day_job/ http://www.lisadearaujo.com/index.php/site/the_day_job/#When:09:37:04Z I'm a Cambridge, England-based contract designer, art director and project manager.

I am equally well-versed in web design and development and have designed and created websites for channel markets, B2B and consumers.

My work has appeared in a range of business and consumer publications, including the Long Beach Tribune, South Coast Business, Discovering Long Beach, The Racing Times and the LA Times Magazine. I specialise in architectural, product and food photography and can provide stock imagery of a range of subjects. Some of my commercial stock photography work can be found on Alamy, whilst additional commercial and digital work can be accessed here. Since I discovered the joy of vintage cameras, I have acquired over 16 different devices, ranging from folding and box cameras, to rangefinders, TLRs and Polaroid cameras. I use them to create Fine Art prints from film. I sell a selection of these in the Print Shop. 2007-12-08T15:34:00+00:00 http://www.lisadearaujo.com/index.php/site/project_management/ http://www.lisadearaujo.com/index.php/site/project_management/#When:14:49:00Z As marketing manager for Cyberlife Technology and Creature Labs, I was in charge of a variety of projects, from product launches to website management, customer support, PR and more. I’ve got plenty of experience with print production as well - from daily newspapers to monthly magazines and every sort of small print project imaginable. I’m equally at home with a daily deadline or three-year-long projects. My project management style is both agile and process-orientated, encompassing detailed documentation with a high degree of flexiblity. In my work as a games producer I collaborate to create strong designs with allowances for iterative development throughout the project. Pre-production work is thorough, with an emphasis on quality, creativity and timeliness. I’m as comfortable with a daily deadline as I am with three-year-long projects. 2007-12-08T14:49:00+00:00
