Maura Lindsey is a New Orleans based photographer whose work aims to capture vivid narratives.
She received her BFA from Loyola University in Digital Filmmaking and Studio Art in 2022. Here she spent several years focusing on documentary through capturing individuals of New Orleans, providing her with a love for spontaneity and raw moments.
Her early work in documentary grew her love for the creativity this medium has to offer and influenced her decision to expand towards editorial and studio portraits. She often curates larger than life concepts or details in her work to create a scene beyond modern life; a homage to her love of world building seen in films and television. She also aims to present those she photographs honestly, digging beyond the surface to showcase their personality. To her photography is not a solo act, but rather a conversation between subject and artist. Her creative process includes taking time to understand who she's capturing and let shots flow organically, working as a guide to capture the most authentic image.
Her work has been featured in Downtown Panama City's The Lightroom's 20 Under 20 Exhibit (2018), Loyola University's Clusterfunk Exhibit (2018), and the cover for Marigny Hemenway and James Lerlile's Voodoo single (2020), along with promotional materials for many New Orleans entertainers. Her nightlife photography has been published in Where Y'at Magazine for their 2024 Decadence issue. Her mixed media work has been showcased in a 2021 exhibition with The Front Gallery.
