Drag to set position!
Hi! I'm Lisa Bettany | Mostly Lisa
Lisa Bettany is one of the most influential photographers on the web. Her vibrant, eye-catching landscape and travel photos have been viewed millions of times in magazines, online publications & TV broadcasts.
A former competitive figure skater, with an inspiring “never say never” personality, Lisa has motivated millions to creatively capture the moments of their lives by taking great photos.
When Lisa suffered a tragic back-breaking figure skating accident at 21 years-old, she was forced to give up her Olympic dreams. Bed-ridden from her injury, a close friend loaned Lisa a camera as a method to heal and explore her creativity. As she recovered from her back injury, her photography brought back her passion for life and travel.
Lisa was included in Huffington Post’s Top 30 Most Influential Photographers on the Web, FastCompany’s Most Creative People in Business, and Business Insider’s Most Influential People in App Development for her cofounding role in the best-selling iPhone app, Camera+.
After living abroad for the past few years, Lisa has returned to her home on the West Coast of Canada. She currently lives with her husband, RCAF pilot, in Victoria, BC. She regularly travels around the world chasing the beauty of our diverse world.
I do many things, but photography is my passion. I wake up everyday and can't wait to shoot, Photoshop & create beautiful photographs.
Flickr is the first place I visit the morning and my last place I visit at night. I am continually inspired by the amazing photographers I meet here. I thank all of you for your comments, critiques & inspiring images.

Lisa is one of the reasons I recently got into photography. I loved seeing all the beautiful photographs on her blog and the way she talks about photography with such excitement and enthusiasm for sharing her tricks and tips with new or still learning photographers is infectious. I've learned a lot about photography from just reading her blog, and I felt more prepared when I made the jump to dSLR-land. She is a lovely person that everyone should get to meet at least once, and I'm so glad that I have! :)
