Hello!
I’m Elise.
I am a fine art portrait photographer living and working in Indiana (and visiting as much of the rest of the world as I can). I love reading almost as much as I love making beautiful art, and nearly always incorporate books, literature, or esoteric knowledge into my photographs. I am a self proclaimed nerd who loves Doctor Who, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Neil Gaiman. I am fascinated by stories as well as the sea, and I am in love with underwater photography (yes in Indiana). The name for Lusicovi Creative comes from my Armenian heritage. “Lus” means “light” and “Covi” means “sea.”
Most importantly, I believe in magic. Not in the sense of wands and wizards and spells, but in an everyday sort of magic. I believe in the magic of people. Of what they can do and achieve with passion and love and determination. Of how they can connect with people and the world around them on a daily basis. I believe that there is a powerful type of magic in human connections, that emotions are how we connect, and I believe in capturing that magic.
A piece of art, whether a painting, a song, a story, or a portrait, is a preserved memory of the most magical thing on earth: people. Across space and time, the most important thing about artworks (including portraits), is their ability to preserve that magic and to connect two people.
I run my business as a boutique studio, which means that I am here to help you every step of the way, from the brainstorming to the session, to choosing the beautiful artwork (starring YOU!) to display on your wall and treasure forever. From the first consultation to the finished artwork hanging in your home, your magic is unique. I want to capture your magic, your story, in a wonderful and creative way so that you can preserve it forever and share it with the world.
Photography captures light, yes, but the camera also captures much more. Portraits capture love, caring, devotion, joy, determination, silliness, imagination, and all the magic of being alive. They capture time, they tell a story. They are magic. They are memory. They are art.
So what magic do you want to preserve? Let me make your story, your love, your magic, into a beautiful piece of art.
