About Cynthia

Cynthia Abatt is a Cambridge MA photographer with decades of experience in documentary and editorial photography. She is a life-long Nikon devotee.

“When I photograph events, I think of myself as a portrait photographer masquerading as an event photographer. Events are where people are most interesting to me, when they are themselves, engaged in something that matters to them, and I can be the casual observer and documentarian.” 

While people in a natural environment is her specialty, other personal favorites include Farmer’s Markets – “I just love nature’s inherent symmetry” – and “anywhere off the beaten path.” “I am also, happily, a ‘have camera, will travel’ sort of person.”

Cynthia works exclusively on location, in available light. Her clients include corporations, city governments and non-profits as well as individuals and businesses.

“My objective is always to show the authenticity and humanity of a situation, so the viewer can see something they may not have experienced themselves. Empathy and understanding can be formed with visual connection.”

 Cynthia Abatt Photography is an SDO certified woman-owned business enterprise (WBE) with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Commonwealth’s Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP).
