About
Your story deserves to be told in an unforgettable way
I’m Christine Crossen, a photographer with over 20 years of experience. My journey began in film photography, where I honed my craft in the darkroom, refining both technical skills and artistic vision. In 2014, I transitioned to digital photography, blending new possibilities with my film-based foundations.
I love working with people and capturing who they are. While I love to capture an aesthetic, I believe photography should really capture the person and tell their story.
While I love working with people my other passion in photography is the lost and forgotten items in the world. I am an Urban Explorer and try to go on adventures as often as possible to find abandoned structures or forgotten things.
