ABOUT LINDSEY

OAKLAND, CA BASED COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER WITH A LOVE FOR THE OCEAN, THE SIERRAS, + THE DESERT

Hi, I’m Lindsey. A lover of all things film and the outdoors.

My work is fun, free, and youthful. It’s not overly produced and is often a little bit chaotic, but with extra attention on artistic and playful composition. I draw inspiration from growing up in a small beach town in the 90s—think California surfer girl X Nirvana.

I’m a city girl who gets outside as often as possible. Equally comfortable backpacking in the Eastern Sierras and at a museum in the city. Shooting with me is like sharing a Modelo at a campsite down a dirt road one night, then a bottle of natural wine back in the city the next.

ABOUT ME

I bought my first camera, a polaroid, in high school so I could take cool photos of myself for MySpace. Honestly, not much has changed.

I started shooting film a few years later when I took my grandma’s old Nikon FM with me when I moved to Brooklyn. Years later I borrowed a digital camera and began to shoot professionally. I do own my own digital gear now, but all those years of shooting film and cultivating a personal style greatly shaped how I see and shoot and edit.

Foremost, I am interested in creating magic. The kind of magic you associate with nostalgic film photos from your grandma. I love to create and capture artful moments—both for relationships and intimate portraits. My work aims to evoke a sense of freedom with a touch of moodiness and romance. I love collaborating and making each shoot unique to the client, working with you to create your vision. Let’s get dirty in the at the beach, let’s jump in the ocean, let’s pour wine and flip records at home.
