Lisa Kristine is a humanitarian photographer, world-renowned for her powerful work. For more than 30 years, she has documented indigenous cultures and social causes in more than 150 countries across six continents, instinctively identifying the universal human dignity in all of us. Her work resonates in the heart and moves us to act. Lisa’s work has been shown in exhibitions and purchased for permanent collections in museums throughout the United States and abroad. Best known for her evocative and saturated use of color, her fine art prints are among the most sought after and collected in the world.
Because Lisa Kristine Fine Art Limited Editions have a restricted number of prints for each size, demand often outpaces production. As the demand increases for Limited Editions, so does the price. For this reason, it’s a popular option to collect early and guarantee the most competitive pricing.
Yes, some of the images are available in different sizes to fit your needs. Sizing can be customized in some circumstances to stay within the value of our Limited Editions. For inquiries about sizing, please contact our art specialist at [email protected] or call us at +1(415) 827-4441.
Limited Editions are restricted by a fixed number of prints made for each photograph, meaning that once the edition sells out, no more prints will be made. Lisa Kristine Fine Art Editions come in various sizes. Details on sizes can be found wherever Limited Edition artworks are sold. Lisa Kristine Fine Art Editions come in multiple sizes and are produced in quantities ranging from 10-100 signed prints, plus artist proofs. Inquires can be made by emailing @ [email protected] or calling +1(415) 827-4441.
Once we decide how many prints to make for a Limited Edition, that number is fixed and will not be printed again.
All Lisa Kristine Fine Art editions are produced at our production studio in California, using only the highest quality imported and domestic materials.
The finished size of each photograph is dependent on the final size you have selected along with the addition of any framing combinations you have chosen. To assist you in selecting the perfect size, please contact our art specialist at [email protected] or call us at +1(415) 827-4441.

Absolutely! We have a number of hand-crafted options available to you. We have selected a few collector favorites for online purchases and have additional selections available in the gallery.
We recommend that all images be mounted by experienced professionals. Always handle your photograph with the white cotton gloves that are provided. We receommend your photograph is cold mounted. We recommend mounting on a completely smooth, high-quality, dimensionally stable substrate. Please be aware that mounting your photograph on a softer surface like foam core will increase the likelihood of the photograph developing orange peel texture of sorts on the surface.
Please know that if your Lisa Kristine edition is damaged from handling or during the mounting process, Lisa Kristine Fine Art is not liable for the damage or replacement costs. Please only solicit framing and mounting assistance from reputable and insured frame shops.

Image Surface
Use caution whenever cleaning the surface glazing of your Fine Art photograph. Gently dust the picture glazing with a high quality soft, damp cloth or chamois. Use light pressure, rinse with clean water, and dry by blotting the cloth.
Do not use window cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring compounds, or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to clean your image, as this may cause permanent damage to your image.
Frame
Our frames should not require care other than periodic dusting. A soft, dry cloth may be used to remove spots or debris. Avoid the use of liquid and chemical cleaning products, as these will deteriorate the frames surface.
How effectively you light your artwork is crucial to the artwork’s overall presentation in your space. Proper lighting techniques use a combination of spotlights and spreads. How far away your light fixture is installed from the photograph will dictate the degree of spread. While several different types of light bulb can adequately light your image, we use LED PAR30 – 1,000 Lumens bulbs at Lisa Kristine Fine Art Galleries. Consult an electrician or lighting professional when considering lighting options for your artwork.
