- Photographing. (Kite)Surfing.
Watching Deadman.
| "It's great to see girls getting
recognized in a good and professional way." This was what Tracy Kraft said when she
first got in touch with windgirls.com magazine. Tracy, 30 years old and American born, is
working as a freelance photographer on Maui. With her
friend, professional kiteboarder Nina Heiberg ("Nina is truely a star in all
ways"), Tracy not only spends time on the water, but also travelling and
photographing. Photos from her trip to Namotu/Fiji with Nina have been one of our recent
highlights (find the link below) for sure. Tracy says: "Nina and I had such a great
time shooting the Fiji trip." Learn more about the woman behind the lens. |
