I’m Kristina; my friends call me Kristy. I am a photographer based in Los Angeles, California and I specialize in portrait and fine art photography.

I believe photography has immense power to bring people together through storytelling and discussion as we travel through time in an instant. And when a photographer and subject work together, a magical dance happens, forever captured.

I grew up with photography — my father was recognized photojournalist, Rick Corrales, who helped the LA Times win the Pulitzer Prize for the history making 1984 Latino Series. Sadly, Rick Corrales passed away in 2005, but left behind an incredible legacy of work.

I shoot with a Sony mirrorless camera and love the rich vibrant images Sony’s lenses produce. My two young sons inspired me to start taking portraits and it soon became my favorite type of photography. We all deserve to feel seen, and we all have an important story to tell.

I recently started working on my own series about of grief after my parents passed away from cancer in 2005 and 2006. I started working on it as a personal project and it became incredibly healing and empowering — I hope it speaks to you in some way as well.

Thanks for reading,

Kristina
