I'm Kyra Barger, a photographer located in Sarasota, Florida. I have been an art and photography buff all my life. When I lived in Burkina Faso, West Africa, I discovered my own photography and a deep passion for creating honest and organic images. I shoot from my heart and capture what moves me. My hope is to make one feel something when they look at my images and for them to reflect my appreciation for subtlety.
Faso Photography is named after the country, culture, people and faces I (and my camera) fell in love with.
When I'm not taking photographs you will find me reading a classic, listening to my vinyl records or hanging out with my very groovy family and friends.
