Growing up in Washington, D.C., she received her very first camera when she was seven years old. Inspired by her frequent travels and the National Geographic magazines her parents kept around the house, Lindsey quickly took to photography, though she did not receive any formal training on the subject until she was twelve years old. When she was seventeen, she had the opportunity to travel to India on a National Geographic Student Expedition. This trip led her to realize the importance of having a sociocultural knowledge of her subject. Thus she decided to forgo art school to immerse herself in the study of anthropology and religion. Having completed her Bachelors in Anthropology and religion from Emory University, Lindsey is currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts in photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
