ARTIST BIOGRAPHY 

Alise Cua was born in Bucharest, Romania behind the Iron Curtain. Her family sought political asylum to the USA when she was 10 years old. Having spent her formative years living in a Communist regime, Alise  bridged an enormous cultural and political gap, an experience which often permeates her work.

 
She began photographing as a child, and continued to do so for friends and family for many years, eventually turning one of her passions into a successful business. Alise started in front of the camera as a young girl and has been involved in the fashion and advertising industry since. Her experience as a former model gives her a unique perspective behind the lens, which she often calls upon to obtain the best from her subjects.

A two time graduate of The Ohio State University from undergrad and graduate school,  she currently photographs  Atlanta's models/actors/artists, and works with commercial clients to develop visual identity and advertisements from concept to copy.

Alise integrates her superb creative abilities, lessons learned from years in front of the camera, business acumen,  Corporate America experience and clear communication, with a keen sense of personal style, integrity, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm --  into a completely unique blend of skills which  translate into her work.

A European City girl gone American Hunt Country, she currently resides in pastoral Milton Ga with her 3 children, 4 dogs, 7 chicken,  a rooster, and a very patient husband.
