There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a photographers career explode and that’s exactly what’s happening to Krystle Wright. I’ve know Krystle for almost ten years. She was a student at the Adventure Photography Workshop (twice!) and is as ambitious a person as they come. Krystle is also an Aurora Photos and Novus Select photographer.
Coming up with big ideas for expeditions is not easy. Planning those expeditions is hard and finding the money is often times close to impossible, but Krystle and her team pulled it off. Her latest project is “Nobody’s River“: an all-women expedition on the Amur, which is one of the world’s least explored and greatest free-flowing rivers. The team received a National Geographic Young Explorers Grant for this project and plans on traveling 4,400km from the Amur’s headwaters in Mongolia, across the Russian Far East and into the Pacific Ocean Delta. This is going to be a bad-ass adventure! Krystle’s role, aside from paddling 4,400km, is to also be the still photographer documenting the expedition. The team set out for their two month journey and will be posting updates from the field on the National Geographic adventure blog as well as there own blog. Can’t wait to see photos from the trip once they return, keep on paddling Krystle! Would love to see this end up on the pages of National Geographic Magazine!
