FROM PAST STUDENTS:

"This was a really thought provoking class, and I enjoyed looking at other artists, and reflecting on my own work." -Sophie Booth

“I absolutely loved this class. Lindsey transformed by thinking about portraits, it truly was revolutionary. It totally deepened and expanded my understanding of portraits as art... with purpose and intention... and the ability to capture and communicate relationship and emotion.. and much more of the essence of a person or memory than just a cute or beautiful image. I am truly grateful for this class.” - Juliet Biagi

“I really enjoyed learning from Lindsey! She is a very engaging and thoughtful instructor, and I found her editing videos to be tremendously helpful. Her work is gorgeous and I loved hearing a bit more about her thought processes and inspiration.” - Sarah Keene

“I love how Lindsey teaches her students the history of portrait making and brings it to present time. You will clearly be able to see which work you find yourself drawn to during the class and feel excitement as you move forward when making your own portraits. Lindsey is very present during class time which is what I surely look for when signing up for a class. - Candy Kempsey

“I have taken both of Lindsey's classes and I both were worthwhile, wonderful experiences. If there is ever an alumni option for Portrait Revolution I would be the first in line. Now that the course is complete I am going to review the material again because there is so much! The class is thoughtful and pushes students to look at portrait photography from new perspectives. I enjoyed the depth of information from a historical perspective and also studying the work of many other photographers. This class and Lindsey's voice were a blessing that ignited my desire to pick up my camera again!” - Heather Banks

“Thanks to Lindsay for this amazing class! I wasn't quick enough to snap up an Active seat, and fully intended to be an 'active' Silent student, which unfortunately didn't eventuate due to being super-buy here! I did just manage to follow-along with the course and, without participating, still got so much out of it. I had been thinking something was missing with my photography and narrowed it down to connection. I was looking for course etc on connection, but came across this and thought it would be great to learn how to take a nice portrait, not expecting that I would get such a fantastic insight into the connection, relationships, and authenticity that I wanted in my photos! Its school summer holidays here in a couple more weeks and I can't wait to practise the techniques and ideas I have learnt from this class. Thank you so much Lindsay. This course has been prefect for where I am right now and where I want to go. Absolutely loved it!” - Tania White

“I just finished the fall run of Portrait Revolution and I really loved it. Lindsey was a wonderful instructor, very thoughtful and engaged with the class, and quick to respond to comments and answer questions.. Her critiques are thorough, helpful and honest. The lessons have introduced me to new techniques for shooting portraits, inspiring new artists to learn from that I hadn't encountered before, and a new way of approaching portraits that I think will inspire more meaningful and authentic work. I know that I will refer to the material again and again and I can't wait to keep practicing the concepts.” - Melanie Crawford

“The Portorat Revolution class was well structured and paced. Lots of new ideas and resources were shared within a good step-by-step framework. The feedback was always clear, critical where it needed to be but always positive and encouraging.” - Derek Brown

“I loved this course, I appreciated Lindsey's straight forward approach to teaching and her ability to really make me think about portraits in a whole new way. Her course exposed me too an array of artists that are unlike a lot of the work I have been looking at lately, and I am going to continue to look at them and study them. Lindsey reminded us to focus on creating our own art instead of comparing ourselves to what we see on social media, and that is something I really needed to hear, and I know that mindset will keep me focused on capturing my family’s story while improving my craft. I also loved seeing her process as she set out to make an image, it really helped put things in perspective for me and reinforced that art is a process. I loved the focus on capturing emotion and how it can be more important than technical perfection, I have already found myself asking what feeling I want to portray before I click the shutter, this has already begun to transform what I am able to make. This class was inspiring and refreshing in all the ways I needed, I loved all the material, the articles and videos. I have already gone back to refer to the lessons and am going to go through the practice suggestions Lindsey left us with. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to make emotive portraits that stay with you.” - Shannon Kachuba

“Lindsey is a very committed teacher who gave us her full attention, detailed information, and encouraging, honest critique. I especially appreciated the photography masters whose work we looked at and the contemporary portrait photographers Lindsey introduced us to and had us write about. The class could have gone on much longer! :)" - E. Beth Thomas

“Having already taken a class with Lindsey before I was extremely excited to be learning with her again in the Portrait Revolution. I was at a place where I can take a nice portrait but I really wanted to go deeper and learn how to create more compelling portraits with more soul in them. This course more than delivered in giving me the tools and confidence to move forward and try to create the portraits that I see in my head. I knew Lindsey's course would be full of engaging content but I couldn't quite believe how much she managed to fit in to just two weeks including the history of portraiture, modern portraits, technical elements, creative approaches, editing ideas and even moving a step further to creating portraits with emotion. I absolutely loved this class and would absolutely recommend it.” - Vicki Hull

“This course was amazing. Lindsey provided so much practical and insightful information that has really changed the way that I take pictures. She fostered a positive community that was exactly what I needed. Lindsey was always available and responded to questions in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who really wants to become more intentional with their photography.” - Tiara Ruffin
