David is kind enough to allow me to show his wedding imagery from 40 years ago... yes, they had color film taken on their wedding day, plus a secret video camera, since coverage wasn't allowed inside the registry building. (David likes his techie gadgets) when he told me he wanted to recreate the group of family and friends who would be at his 40th anniversary, from the photograph taken from outside the registry -- it's no surprise a film camera made it on the plane with me to England. it was a great big bash, with candy, a geodesic dome (like the one in Bridget’s parents' back yard, on their wedding day!) dancing, and even a visit from David & Bridget’s daughter via FaceTime, who is expecting her first in Texas! this was such a super lovely event to capture with so much happiness & playfulness. Congratulations you two.... for the 40th time. it was an honor....

i am crying. i guess i didn't realize how much my heart is in this work. i'm incredibly honored. Our World Insideout : Brazil has been awarded a silver in this years px3 competition. i may just be on my way to france soon!
"Px3 asked each judge to use the same criteria when reviewing the photographs: originality, creativity, excellence of execution, and overall impact. The identity of all photographers is not shown during the voting process to insure fairness and the integrity of the competition."
thank you dearly to all of you who supporter me via Kickstarter, & to those from around the US, Central America and all over Brazil that made this possible. my dreams just got bigger, and very much because of you....
Our World Insideout is currently working in conjunction with a Rio based organization, Chiq da Silva, to project the imagery on the side of the most popular squatted government building. The goal is to raise awareness & the necessary funds to finally build the first centralized urban public housing in Rio. In addition the documentary is in it's final stage of subtitling!!! thank you Isabela Alzuguir!
Spread the word. If you'd like to be involved, with the Chicago portion, I am currently looking for a story to cover & submit to two editors. I am excited to work towards awareness & change in my own hometown. Please contact me here if you have a story to share: alyssa@ourworldinsideout.com

i'm so excited to showcase this piece, as a limited edition large print. in the beginning of this year i was commissioned to create a piece for a special place. below is the what won my clients over. as some of your know, conor is graduating this year from law school & i am supper proud of him. his graduation gift is a trip to hong kong, & with it i will be taking film once again. if you are interested in a commissioned piece, please let the studio know (studio@alyssamiserendino.com) and we'd be happy to arrange a site visit to your personal space you are looking to fill with a little magic...
the magic was in the creation. conor & i decided it was time after a couple days in Yagon to visit the breath taking Shwedagon Paya. not realizing it was right down the street from where we were staying, we walked on over and wandered around in amazement. we happened to be there on a day when they light the entire place with candles. we had no idea this was about to start at sun down. as usual i went into my own mode with a film hasselblad in hand and decided to just sit in the middle of it all, on the floor. watching as tourists, locals, and monks passed through the frame, it was like watching my own little movie pass through the view finder. not more than a minute into it, the people parted in synchronicity, as a monk decided to stand dead center for long enough for me to create an image with a slow shutter. his friend approached us shortly after, and started to explain how we are all connected. i started tearing up as he continued to speak, in an absolute moment of all encompassing love for the world internally. conor & i were then treated to a personal tour of Shwedagon, as his friend who is pictured here followed close behind, taking in everything around him... it was one of the most amazing moments of our trip.
working on commissioned artwork ... and this one keeps nudging me.
this was in deed a beautiful morning

may love find you seeing the world in a different light.
