Biography
Born Lisa Bachelis, Law was raised in Burbank, California in the 1950s. In an interview, Law said that her initial interest in photography was piqued by her father, a furrier who "helped unionize the garment industry in LA and filmed the strikers being hosed down by the police when they were striking in front of Warner Brothers in Burbank". She attended high school in San Francisco and was intrigued by the subculture of the time. In 1964 she began photographing musicians for a record company and met her future husband, a road manager for Peter, Paul and Mary.
