Ha dedicado la última década de su carrera a proyectos personales los cuales han sido exhibido internacionalmente y que se pueden encontrar en varias colecciones públicas y privadas, entre las que destacan las de las Universidades de Stanford y Berkeley, el Museo de Bellas Artes de Houston y el Smithsonian. . 

Wiseman, que ha recibido dos veces la beca de arte nacional más prestigiosa de México, el Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte / FONCA, actualmente dirige el Departamento de Fotografía de la Universidad de East London y divide su tiempo entre la Ciudad de México y Londres.
