Lisa Thomas
Lisa Thomas embarked on an extraordinary journey with her husband, Simon, when they set out to ride and photograph the world for what they initially thought would be just 12 months. However, their adventure transformed into an incredible 17-year exploration of diverse landscapes and cultures. With limited space on her motorcycle, Lisa adopted a minimalist approach to photography, ingeniously blending in-camera techniques with advanced post-processing to create stunning images.
Driven by a mission that transcends mere visuals, Lisa aims to capture the heart and soul of each moment, resulting in photographs that evoke deep emotions and tell compelling stories. Her dedication to her craft has led to a unique artistic voice that resonates with global audiences.
Lisa’s distinctive photographic style has garnered her international acclaim, featuring her work in prestigious publications and exhibitions, including the Nikon Gallery in Malaysia and the iconic Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Her artistic vision goes beyond simple aesthetics, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional core of her images.
Through collaborations with global brands, NGOs, and tourism agencies, Lisa has solidified her reputation as a leading photographer in the travel and adventure space. Her innovative techniques and evocative storytelling make her a sought-after artist.
The couple’s adventures have been anything but ordinary, filled with unexpected challenges and unforgettable experiences. From running out of water, facing hallucinations in the wild, repairing motorbikes using scrap aeroplane parts, and dining with Maasai warriors, Lisa and Simon have embraced each moment with humour and resilience.
These shared experiences have deepened their bond and enriched their storytelling, allowing them to convey the beauty and complexity of life on the road. Each challenge has shaped their journey, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth and connection.
Having travelled over half a million miles, Lisa’s impact extends far beyond photography. She passionately shares her insights with corporate clients, industry leaders, and global brands like BMW and Adidas, inspiring others to pursue their dreams fearlessly. Her experiences resonate in over 100 live presentations, articles for top travel publications, and appearances on international television.
Reflecting on her journey, Lisa emphasises, “Life should be extraordinary.” Her story invites everyone to embrace adventure and explore the world with open hearts and minds, encouraging individuals to turn a deaf ear to naysayers and discover their potential. Lisa inspires audiences worldwide to live boldly and authentically through her art and storytelling.
