A southern California native, Kymri Wilt’s extensive background in the travel industry offers the perspective of a professional photographer who intimately knows the market and creates images accordingly, for a variety of destination websites, specialized tour operator brochures, feature articles and guidebooks.

Published images extend beyond the travel realm to textbooks, calendars, documentary features and specialty photography-themed books. Additionally, Kymri shoots Hi-Def video, both for assignment features as well as stock footage clips. Current projects include post-production on a documentary she filmed in Nepal for a non-profit organization, with another slated for Mexico later this year.

Recent travels and images include: London, England; Seattle, WA; Boston, MA; and Loreto (Baja Peninsula), Mexico. Upcoming travels include: multi-generational family travel in Ireland (Dublin-based); Mexico’s Baja Peninsula; Chicago, IL; and an extended South America trip (Brazil, Argentina, and Chile) is slated for later in the year. Between travels, Kymri enjoys surfing, hiking, and exploring the state parks and reserves of southern California with her camera.
