Here is Lindsey, Unraveled…

What inspires your art?

Mostly nature since I grew up an only child and relied heavily on my imagination to deter the boredom. Pick up a stick and make it a wand. That rock is now alive. The mud is quicksand. The trees can talk. The wind can make you fly! You get the idea…

What do you shoot with? Camera body and favorite lens?

I use a canon R5 mark II and the mark iv and rotate between my 85mm and 24-70.

What other ways do you express your creativity?

I like to write. I wrote a children’s book once and have to remind myself how cathartic the writing process can be for me! It was so much fun.

How do you de-stress at the end of the day?

Good tunes blasting throughout the house. Porch sittin.

What kind of music do you listen to while editing?

Anything and everything; one day it’s Clair de Lune and the next it’s 2000s hip-hop. I can get wild if I need to.

What is your favorite book?

Love and Other Words —Christina Lauren

Name one movie that inspires you.

What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams

How do you handle self-doubt or creative slumps?

I usually take a break from shooting and dive into some education. If not education, stories from other creatives to put things back into perspective; not everything always has to be perfect or a certain way and you quite certainly are not alone!

What has been the most difficult part of your creative journey?

Finding what I most love to shoot and tossing out the rest. Doing “all the things” was draining my energy and not giving me enough left to pour my heart into what I loved about photography to begin with.

What is your favorite pizza topping?

Pepperoni…but the pepperoni that turns into a little saucer for grease 🤤

What is your most favorite kind of light and why?

Warm and glowy sunsets specifically through trees or peeking out from behind something (a house or mountain). I love the twinkly bokeh created when the sun is filtered through the leaves.

Who is one of your favorite photographers?

Annie Nelson, hands down. She always stops my scroll and is just next level magic for documentary photography.

What is your favorite course or lesson at Unraveled?

I loved ‘Making Magic in Unexpected Places’
