Ep 146 - Extreme Adventure Photography with Krystle Wright: A Visual Journey

Krystle Wright, an Australian adventure photographer, cinematographer, and director, leads a semi-nomadic lifestyle, capturing unique moments from extreme sports and expeditions worldwide. Introduced to photography through a disposable camera, she treasured its limited exposures during a summer trip, finding joy in its simplicity. 

Her insatiable curiosity propels her, relishing the unpredictability of travel. From paragliding in Pakistan to swimming with sperm whales, each assignment offers a distinct adventure.

After a decade in the US, she returned to Australia in 2020 amid the lockdown. Reflecting on a storm-chasing film with Nick Moir, she recalls being caught in a ferocious dust storm, experiencing the awe-inspiring power of nature first-hand. Witnessing a tornado while driving, she was captivated by its hypnotic formation, fuelling her fascination with storm chasing.

Krystle's work reflects her passion for adventure and storytelling, capturing the essence of extreme environments and the human spirit within them. Her photographs and films evoke a sense of wonder and inspire viewers to explore the world around them. With an unwavering dedication to her craft, she continues to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, leaving an indelible mark on the world of adventure photography.

We talk about her passion for capturing the natural world, the evolution of her career from sports photography to adventure photography, and the challenges she’s faced in the industry along with lots more. 

I hope you enjoy the show!
