Maura Lindsey is an artist, photographer, and film colorist based in New Orleans. She received her BFA from Loyola University in Digital Filmmaking and Studio Art in 2022. Fascinated by photography's storytelling abilities, her work aims to capture a vivid narrative within a single frame.

​

After spending several years focusing on documentary style and homing in on capturing individuals of New Orleans, she decided to expand to formal portraiture. Here she grew her love for the creative opportunities this medium has to offer. Her work often incorporates fantastical concepts or details which she carefully curates to evoke a romanticism beyond modern life. However, she also aims to present an honest side to those she photographs, digging beyond the surface to showcase an identity that may not be initially recognized.  

​​​

Though each aspect of these works are intentional, her experience in documentary has provided her with a love for spontaneity and raw moments. She also believes 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 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 New Orlean's The Front Gallery.
