Biography:
Lieberman is a San Francisco based photographer who specializes in making images of people of note. She has worked in both the fine art and commercial arenas. She is particularly adept at encouraging a personality to come forth during a photo session and some of this skill comes from working in the field of Psychiatry prior to her becoming a photographer. She has a deep conviction and interest in people and often spends time reading or researching her subject before meeting them in the studio. Often she is sent on assignments when the subject is difficult or their is a sensitive issue being portrayed. Her clients find her responsible and productive no matter the complexity of the work.

Artist Statement:
As a free-lance photographer, I realize the importance of solving problems for my client and making the job easier.
Whether in the studio or on location, I try to work quickly and directly. All production needs are handled by the studio and my skilled staff. Working in the field I am keenly aware of the need for responsibility, resourcefulness, and refreshing ideas. As a problem solver, I try to provide the client with the best possible solutions.
I feel being an active APA member, a lecturer at the University of California, and a published author help to deepen and broaden my skills as a free-lance photographer.
I'm pleased you've taken the time to read this statement. I look forward to hearing from you and the possibility of working together.
