Lisette Model (born Elise Amelie Felicie Stern; November 10, 1901 – March 30, 1983) was an Austrian-born American photographer primarily known for the frank humanism of her street photography.

A prolific photographer in the 1940s and a member of the New-York cooperative Photo League,[1] she was published in PM's Weekly, Harper's Bazaar, and US Camera before taking up teaching in 1949 through the intermediary of Ansel Adams.[2] She continued to photograph[3] and taught at the New School for Social Research in New York from 1951 until her death in 1983 with many notable students, the most famous of whom was Diane Arbus.[4] Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions and resides in several permanent collections, including that of the National Gallery of Canada,[5] the J. Paul Getty Museum,[6] and the National Portrait Gallery.[7]
