As a contributing photographer for National Geographic Traveler, she has been photographing many different stories from Oaxaca City, Mexico, to city stories about Paris, Florence, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Casablanca, and Saint Petersburg, to mention a few. Sisse has won awards, among them first prize, “Picture Story of the Year” from the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) for her coverage of migrant workers and also from POY, a picture about children who suffer from the aftermath of the nuclear disaster in Chornobyl, Ukraine for the Human Skin Story.
