What happens when photography becomes more than just capturing a landscape — when it becomes part of the story, part of your identity, and even part of the scene itself?
In Episode 2 of Vallerret’s Creative Outsiders, we talk with Sarah Lyndsay, a fine art photographer and self-portrait artist known for her emotional storytelling and her signature yellow dress. She takes us deep into the heart of winter photography, where minus thirty degree mornings, quiet landscapes, and soft light often lead to the most magical images.
Sarah talks with Lukas and Carl about how photography turned into something deeper. At first she photographed landscapes. Over time, she began placing herself inside them. Not posing, but belonging. Her goal was not only to show what a place looks like, but what it feels like.
This episode is full of honest creative insights and real cold-weather experience:
- Why bad weather often leads to stronger, more emotional images
- How it feels to shoot in minus thirty and forget about the cold when the scene feels special
- How she uses layering, boots, and photography gloves to stay warm, even in self-portraits
- What helps camera gear survive frost, humidity, and frozen lake crossings
- Artist or photographer — how Sarah discovered the difference
- Why taking a break from social media helped her reconnect with creativity
- How working with a fine art gallery shaped her understanding of emotion and value in art
Perfect for winter photographers, self-portrait artists, slow creators, sentimental storytellers, and anyone who believes photography can feel like something.
