Lisa Law has spent five decades capturing the shifting tides of American culture on film. Her reputation is built on photographs unique for their startling sense of intimacy and spontaneity.

Her award-winning documentary, ‘Flashing on the Sixties: a Tribal Document’, has aired on Cinemax, The Discovery Channel, and PBS, and is available on home video.
