Bio

Cyndy B Waters has worked around the country as a photographer since the 70’s. She has enjoyed documenting people thru many transitions in the photographic world. Yet, regardless to 35mm, 4x5 or digital, it’s what happens when looking thru the lens and making eye contact with someone from a different part of the world that excites her photographically. It’s those experiences and creating a powerful image that captures a person right were they are in life at that point in time, freezing frames of their history that won’t ever be the same again. In 1995 Cyndy answered a spiritual calling to Africa and for the last 31 years has worked between Tennessee and Africa. She developed The Orbit Village Project, (orbitvillage.org) serving 100’s of children and families in Kenya. All the while, documenting that experience. She photographs the reality of life that she see around her and that she is involved in. Cyndy has won numerous awards, been published in books, and her work has been shown in galleries and online. Photographs of people from the Omo Valley tribes from her most recent show, The Ethiopian, are currently being edited for a book, The Ethiopian, Volume 1, which will be published later this year.
