For the past 20 years, Krystal has supported her father, musician Yanni, on his world tour, witnessing firsthand the profound power of music to connect and heal. This experience, combined with her work alongside organizations such as Disney, NASA, UNICEF, Boeing and the World Wildlife Fund, has taken her to unique and remote locations, laying the foundation for her photographic journey.
Today, Krystal uses her photography to inspire positive change and foster global connectivity, highlighting the common threads that unite us all. Her current exhibition explores the mutual relationship between music and culture, revealing the beauty of our shared humanity and the ways in which we reflect the best of each other.
