05.21

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.

We are very excited to be joined by two new members at Circle Stock Images, Sue and Patrick Cunningham. Sue and Patrick are a UK based husband and wife team who have brought with them many years of experience in commercial travel photography. Here’s a note from Patrick to give you an insight into their work:

“The photographer of the partnership is my wife Sue Cunningham. She has been working as a reportage photographer/photojournalist for about 30 years, visiting many parts of the world in the process. I am the IT technician, administrator, digital image processor and writer. I do take the occasional photo too!

Because Sue grew up in Brazil and we both have a passion for indigenous people and the wild environment, our main focus is on Latin America, especially Brazil.

We are also trustees of a small charity, Indigenous People’s Cultural Support Trust – go to www.tribesalive.org for more information about what we do. We are unpaid in this capacity and although it takes up a substantial proportion of our time it is something we are are passionate about and it is worth every second.

If you want to see the whole of our on-line collection our (Photoshelter powered) website is at www.scphotographic.com.

Sue and Patrick have an inspiring collection of images from Latin America including Brazil, Peru, Argentina, the Amazon, Indigenous People, natural environment, travel and tourism, cities, industry and agriculture. They will also be adding even more images very soon from Africa and Central and Eastern Europe. Below are just three examples of these images for you to enjoy, please ‘Click Here’ to take a look at their full collection.
