While studying at university, she found work experience as a picture editor at a car and motorbike magazine. Her editor later commissioned her to take photos for the website, and helped her land a full-time internship at Huck magazine where she developed her portfolio.

Since then, Liz has worked with clients including Apple, adidas, The Guardian, Soho House, and Patagonia—helping to capture striking images that tell stories and evoke emotions. She has also published a book, The Female Chef.
