#21 Lindsay Duncan: Through Her Camera Lens
Lindsay Duncan says she is a photographer, "of people and the things they make - musicians, writers, artists...I view my position as a photographer as a liaison between the public and the artists’ private moments; a position that requires artists to trust my intent and respect their work."
I am most familiar with Lindsay's work shooting musicians, but she does everything from professional headshots to commercial photography. She is also fresh off the road from photographing Jagmeet Singh on the campaign trail leading up to the 2021 federal election.
We first crossed paths at a studio session where she captured some wonderful photos of Matt Mays and myself while I was interviewing him. Her warm energy felt like a match for something I was dreading: new headshots. Does everyone dread new headshots as much as I do? I hope I look like this for awhile because I HATE HEADSHOTS and I was so thrilled with how they turned out. Find a few here: https://www.facebook.com/Burketalks
When I was getting ready to launch this podcast, she was the first person that came to mind to help me update my image a bit. I thought, if I'm going to be awkward as hell anyway, I better hire someone who will make me feel comfortable. If anything, she seemed like a photographer I could at least enjoy hanging out with for an afternoon (and that we did). In this episode, you'll hear Lindsay talk about her techniques in photography as she refrains from influencing or directing the subjects she photographs and her respect for humans as subjects vs. objects.
