Lisa Siciliano isn’t just a photographer in Boulder—she is Boulder. For over two decades, Siciliano has been the heartbeat behind the lens, capturing the raw essence of rock ‘n’ roll’s biggest legends. Her iconic black-and-white 35mm film portrait of BB King stands as a testament to her craft, immortalizing the King of Blues in a way that only true artists can. Shot on film, developed by hand, and printed as a machine-made masterpiece, the image radiates the same authenticity that Boulder thrives on.

But BB King is just one of many legends Siciliano has photographed. Her portfolio is a who’s who of rock royalty, including names like Dolly Parton, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson, and Robert Plant. Marilyn Manson, a striking subject in her collection, exemplifies her ability to capture the bold, eccentric, and unapologetic side of rock music. From the soulful presence of Gregg Allman to the powerful stage command of Lenny Kravitz, Lisa’s work spans generations and genres, each photo preserving a fleeting moment in rock history.

Lisa’s photos aren’t just keepsakes—they’re part of Boulder’s living history. Her work lines the backstage walls of iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Boulder Theater, and the Fillmore Auditorium. Each image tells the story of the nights that shaped Colorado’s music scene. Whether it’s an intimate shot of a global superstar or a rising local band, Siciliano’s lens has seen it all. Her presence at Boulder’s epic venues has made her as much a part of the scene as the artists she photographs.

Her roots in Boulder’s community run deep, and her passion for photography extends far beyond the stage. Through her Lumin Project, Siciliano uses her talent to shed light on forgotten stories and marginalized communities. For Lisa, rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just about the music—it’s about telling stories that matter, capturing the spirit of rebellion, resilience, and raw beauty that exists in every corner of the world she photographs.
