About Cindy

Cindy In Yellowstone

Biography

Cindy’s passion is creating images that convey the story, mood and spirit of an untamed place or creature and to inspire others to humbly preserve all that is natural, wild and free.

A lifelong wilderness enthusiast, hiker, backpacker, and backcountry skier, she began her photographic career in 2005 and in 2008 embarked on a mentorship with Tom Murphy.  Cindy currently assists Tom, leads photography tours in Yellowstone National Park for Wilderness Photography Expeditions and teaches digital photography asset management (DAM) and workflow utilizing Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

Cindy was awarded Best Photo in the Mountain Flora and Fauna Category in the Banff Mountain 2009 Photography Competition. She also received the Highly Commended Award in the Natural World category from the CIWEM’s Environmental Photographer of the Year 2009 Competition.  

Her images have been published commercially and editorially and are in numerous private collections.

 

 

Artist Statement

I photograph what I experience, both visual and visceral - focusing on the story, mood and spirit of the wild place or creature…  themes that reflect the rhythm and harmony of the land and its inhabitants.

Intact wilderness and wild places continue to disappear from a myriad of causes and reasons, most of which are neither compelling nor sound.  My photographs are the confluence of a devotion to all things wild and the grief with which I see it fading irretrievably away.  

Yellowstone:  sacred, beautiful, mysterious, harsh, unpredictable.  A land alive with predators and prey, fire and falls, renewal and redemption, struggle and songs.  

Yellowstone, An Exaltation of Wonders, is a photographic journey that I began in 2006 that reflect my love and concern for the world’s first national park.

 

 

 

 

 

Cindy leads photographic tours for Tom Murphy's company, Wilderness Photography Expeditions and teaches Digital Asset Management and Workflow utilizing Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Tours are available year round and are customized to your photographic areas of interest and physical conditioning. Options include backcountry snowshoeing or skiing in winter, and hiking or backpacking the other seasons of the year. Cindy likes to work in small groups or one on one with clients to expand their creativity and skills while exploring and learning about the wonders of Yellowstone. One of the greatest challenges of digital photography is being able to quickly process and keep track of all the images you are creating. Speed your digital workflow, increase your creativity and maximize your time and resources. Utilizing Lightroom, Adobe's new image management application with a bit of Adobe Bridge and Photoshop, this intensive, hands-on training, will teach you how to organize, sort, process, search, automate, present, deliver and archive the thousands of images in your collection.
