Tribal Revival uncovers the stunningly beautiful bodies and wildly creative souls of California’s visionary festival culture. Kyer Wiltshire’s camera exposes the painted, masked and costumed character of each festival, as his panoramic views document the dramatic spectacle. Erik Davis’ essay digs into the historic context and articulates the mythic depth of the festival phenomenon. Meet the tribe that lives their dreams!

Certainly no one I am aware of captures the human condition as well as Kyer. His demeanor and ways of working with people seem always to bring out the best as anyone who views his portfolio may become immediately aware. In the product shoots that Kyer has done for my studio, shooting glass which is notoriously difficult, he manages to coax from the inert and the transparent much of the same magic he urges from his delightful human subjects.

Kyer has the master magician’s eye. In the blink of an eye can simultaneously capture a fantastic image and free spirit of anyone. Now that is magic! Kyer is a vital and integral part of the contemporary art community. His photography is a gift to all of us. His deeply spiritual images chronicle the growth of the Sacred Fire Circle communities, Burning Man, Sacred Form Yoga and a generation of new artists and community co-creations. Working with Kyer is very good “Camera-Karma!”

"My two decades of experience as a concert/festival producer and music magazine publisher lead me to state with confidence that Kyer is undoubtedly one of the finest festival, concert and model photographers in the entire alternative lifestyle scene. While his portfolio reveals a consistent ability to capture the essential life spirit of his widely varied subjects, potential clients should also know that Kyer is well-organized, thoroughly professional and a joy to work with. So, why would you want to work with anyone else?"
