About Kerry

Kerry Pryor

Kerry Pryor

Kerry's ability to associate with people in every situation, love of storytelling and gentle personality have seen her personal work and style really come into their own in her Social Documentary Collections.

Her talent for connecting with people has brought Kerry into some of the most humbling and hair-raising situations in life, both of which are brought to the frame with ease, flair, and dignity.

Natural care and patience are part of Kerry’s own signature style.

Her control of natural light allows her to tell stories and give voice without judgment, just capturing the honesty of the moment.
