About Crystal.

Crystal Stafford is a visual storyteller who has traveled to over fifty countries—often with her family along for the ride—both as a tourist and as a documentary photographer and project manager in humanitarian settings. Her work spans continents and contrasts, capturing everything from ancient temples reclaimed by nature to the quiet resilience of displaced communities.

This is a collection of magic—moments suspended in light, landscapes that speak in silence, and portraits of the earth’s forgotten beauty. Some cultures believe a camera captures the soul. Through Crystal’s lens, that belief becomes visible. Her photographs are more than images; they are portals into the essence of places and people—revealing their quiet strength, their timeless pulse, and the invisible threads that tie us all to the natural world.

From drone perspectives that stir emotion to aerial shots from a Cessna 172 gliding over the Namib Desert, Crystal’s work transforms the visual into the visceral. Each piece is a meditation on movement, memory, and presence—a whisper of wonder captured in stillness.

Sunsets and Magic invites you to see the world not just as it is, but as it feels.

The Story.

Sunsets and Magic

Sunsets and Magic was inspired by a song that Crystal wrote for her boyfriend (now husband), Antonio, early in their relationship while they were working in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Antonio and Crystal both shared a dream of someday sailing around the world. The dream persist today and their goal is to set sail in 2027. Crystal plans to record the song soon!
