Elisa Lazo DeSantos
Born in Lima, Peru, Elisa Lazo DeSantos is reportedly named after a mermaid, and feels that this precluded her to possess a different view of the world around her. Initially, photography was only a reference for her illustration projects but soon began to appeal to her inherent creativity. Having worked in the design and advertising field she is strongly drawn to the balance of form and the strength of color and contrast. Heavily influenced by the pagan aspects of Catholic iconography, mythology, the Art Deco and Art Nouveau aesthetic and turn of the century horror fiction her work reflects dark sensuality and luxury of form. She greatly admires the work of  Man Ray, her first strong photographic influence as well as the creativity of Veronique Vial, Floria Sigismonidi, Ansel Adams, Julie Taymor, Eiko Ishioka and Bruce Weber to name a few. 

In her erotic work Elisa tries to express the beauty of the nude form by contrasting it with texture and fabric, wrapping it in shadow and making us long for light. It is the pure form hidden, promising delights beyond what we can see. Images that are dream like, exotic and alien. Her work is featured in the book Women by Women: Erotic Photography by Prestel as well as limited edition art journals and various online exhibits.
