Crystal Fernquist
Crystal is an Orlando-based photographer who balances a life in the clouds with a deep appreciation for the details on the ground. As a professional flight attendant, Crystal has the unique privilege of traversing the globe, exposing her to diverse environments and cultures. However, it was the stillness of 2020 that shifted her perspective; during the pandemic, she turned her lens toward her own backyard, discovering a hidden world through macro photography.
Specializing in nature and wildlife, Crystal’s work seeks to reveal the intricate textures and vibrant life that others often overlook. Whether she is capturing an exotic landscape abroad or the delicate anatomy of a local insect, her goal is to bridge the gap between the vast and the microscopic. For Crystal, photography is an exercise in mindfulness—a way to find wonder in both the grandest destinations and the smallest petals.
