Through her lens: Why travel with Krystal, Your American Photographer Abroad

Why do you love leading photography tours for women?

I love leading photography tours for women because it lets me share a different side of the city—a softer, more beautiful light. I want to help women slow down, make art, and truly enjoy the moment. There’s something magical about learning how to use your camera confidently while exploring a new city. You’re not just taking photos—you’re creating lasting memories, connecting with inspiring women, and rediscovering your creative spark. In the end, it’s not just about photography. It’s about connection, joy, and seeing the world—and yourself—in a new way.

What can guests expect from a photography tour with you?

On a photography tour with me, guests can expect more than just learning to take better photos—they’ll discover the city in unexpected and delightful ways. It’s a perfect mix of creativity, fun, and exploration. You’ll learn how to use your camera with confidence, capture meaningful moments, and truly see your surroundings. It’s also a chance to relax, connect with others, and experience the city through a fresh, artistic lens.

What are some of the unique advantages of traveling with a professional photographer?

The beauty of traveling with a photographer? You get the best of both worlds. Not only do I teach you how to take stunning photos, but you’ll also go home with beautiful images of yourself—capturing the magic of your trip from both sides of the lens. It’s a unique experience where you create vacation memories and learn how to capture your own through photography.

Where do you personally find inspiration for your photography work?

Travel is where I find so much of my inspiration. Discovering new places shifts the way I see the world—and transforms the way I see through my lens. It helps me grow as an artist and keeps my creative eye fresh. But more than that, it’s the people I meet along the way who truly inspire me. Their stories, energy, and perspectives breathe new life into my work.

In what ways do the women who join your tours inspire you creatively?

The women who join my tours constantly inspire me. Their stories—the places they’ve been, the dreams they’re chasing, the goals they’re setting—fuel my own creativity. I love hearing about their journeys and helping them express those dreams through travel and photography. There’s something powerful about that kind of energetic exchange. When we come together in person, creativity flows in a way that just can’t be replicated online. We lift each other up—and create something truly beautiful in the process.

Can someone who’s never picked up a camera still join this trip?

Absolutely—this trip is perfect even if you’ve never picked up a camera before. That’s exactly what I’m here for! Most of the women I work with are complete beginners, and I love watching them light up as they learn. There’s something so special about seeing someone grow in confidence, start capturing beautiful images, and enjoy their trip on a whole new level. You don’t need experience—just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
