Los Angeles and New York-based photographer & director Elizabeth Lippman is the co-creator & photographer of the Life As A Runway column in The New York Times.
She is the co-creator and Director of the Power of Beauty (FKA “Pretty Powerful”) series on Allure.com.
In 2010, she worked with her real-life partner, cinematographer Jac Cheairs, to write, direct and produce her directorial debut, zombie/fashion film mash-up Short, “Last Seen Wearing”. The film, starring renowned indie actor David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight, Ant-Man, Animals), was accepted to the 2010 Stiges Film Fest and led its famed “zombie walk” .
Following the success of her first film project, Elizabeth turned her attention to directing commercial and digital content, often working directly with brands to help craft their digital identity.
Her Directorial work, for clients including Michael Kors, IBM, Bloomingdales, Amazon, Stuart Weitzman, Swarovski, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Whitney Museum, and Dior, picked up right where Life As A Runway left off- blending the tribes and microcosms of life and Style with her inquisitive, documentary eye, as she endeavors to get to the human heart of each story.
Elizabeth likes to say she tries to bring humor and humanism to her work.

Elizabeth started out working as a news and sports photographer for The Michigan Daily, the newspaper of The University of Michigan, when the Fab Five were playing for the team. She interned at the famed Press Association in London during college, and then moved to New York upon graduation. She worked as a freelance photographer for The New York Times and The New York Post and eventually became a columnist at The Times, before launching her directing work with the creation of 3 Dog Pack Pictures, her partnership with her cinematographer husband, in 2010.
