Lindsey Linton Buk, a graduate of the Northwest College Photographic Communications program, will be back on campus Wednesday, Oct. 7, for a free lighting and portrait photography demo that is open to the public. It takes place from 10 a.m. to noon in the Dietrich Studio inside the Fagerberg Building located on Seventh Street.

A 2010 graduate of the Photographic Communications program, Buk is a fifth-generation Wyoming native originally from Powell whose portrait work has appeared in such magazines as Outside and Southwest and has earned her acclaim from numerous publications and media outlets across the state and the country. Her flagship project “Women in Wyoming,” has generated features on Forbes.com, the Travel Channel, American Airways, the Culture Trip, The John Wayne Journal, and many others. The exhibition has also toured the major museums across Wyoming and made its national debut at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.

More recently, Buk’s new book, “Women Shaping the West: Stories from Wyoming”, was published, telling the story of more than 25 women from the Cowboy State whose lives, work, and personal experiences embody the strength, spirit, and soul of the modern American West.

Buk is a founding committee member of the Wyoming Committee for the National Museum for Women in the Arts, and the co-founder of the Brio Collective, a Leadership Wyoming initiative. She worked as a commercial photographer in New York City and taught photography workshops for Canon before returning to Wyoming to establish her own portrait studio in Jackson.
