About

Lyndie Benson became passionate about taking photos through her world travels. Mentored by her close friend and legendary photographer Herb Ritts, Lyndie specializes in naturalistic portraiture. She has a talent and a fascination for capturing the truth in a single moment, a truth unseen by the eye, but captured through her lens. Lyndie studied and worked as an actor for over a decade and feels this is what taught her to find the truth of a moment. In 2005, Lyndie held her fist major solo exhibition in Los Angeles at Edgemar Center for the Arts. In 2006, Lyndie participated in Gallery C’s first ever photography exhibition in Los Angeles which opened to rave reviews. In 2009, she exhibited at Canvas and Roseark in Los Angeles. Her work and exhibitions have benefitted many philanthropic organizations including UNICEF, the Child Labor Project, Best Buddies Foundation, Save the Elephants and PAWS- LA. Currently, Lyndie is the director of photography for Maria Shriver: A Woman’s Nation Project. Lyndie’s photographs have won two International Photography Awards and a Women in Photography Award, appeared in publications such as LA Confidential and the Hamptons, graced numerous album covers, and been acquired for many private collections. Her work can also be seen or rented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art Rental Gallery. Lyndie lives in Malibu, California with her world-renowned musician husband, Kenny G, and their two children.
