Strike a Pose

Lindsay Garvey Portraiture

Thanks to Facebook, the whole wide world can see you basking in a bikini and sucking face with a stranger (thanks, “friends”).

Let Lindsay Garvey save your soul (or at least some dignity). The local photographer has launched a portraiture biz, snapping subjects in curiously cool settings.

Inspired by Avedon and French film noir, Garvey works with clients to come up with an appropriate backdrop and wardrobe, even scouring prop stores to set the perfect stage.

Throw on your favorite vintage dress for a retro series in Granny’s kitchen, bring an upholstered chair outside and plop down for kitschy juxtaposition, or slip into a booth at a diner decked in a formal frock for a bit of whimsy.

Choose your favorite shot and have her blow it up on stretch canvas for something different.

And say hello to a jazzy new profile pic.
