About
Christina became interested in photography when she was in her teens, living in Somerset. She later worked as assistant to a leading advertising photographer in London, and as a freelance photographer in events and editorial photography.
Her photographic style took a turn while at the University of Brighton, where she discovered her passion for water and became interested in the spiritual in photography. She started the Water Study project whilst at University.
She later spent five years living in Spain, where she worked on The Arms Factory, Toledo, Spain Collection and The Spirit of Toledo and is now based in London. Christina has had exhibitions in both the UK and Spain.
Through the process of photography she deepens her relationship with the natural world. In her work she strives to go beyond the visible to what is felt and not seen.
She uses both a digital Nikon D300 camera and an analogue 6 x 4.5 cm medium format Bronica camera.
'It is in the penumbra between the clear visibility of things and their total extinction in darkness, when the concreteness of appearances becomes merged in half-realised, half-baffled vision, that spirit seems to disengage itself from matter and to envelope it with a mystery of soul-suggestion.'
