Biography: Born and raised in San Clemente,
California, Kristianne was influenced by her adventurous and artistic
grandfather, Russ Davee and world traveling parents, Ralph and Bonnie
Koch. She graduated Bachelor of Fine Art in Photography and her work has
been exhibited in many venues including the Center for Fine Art
Photography in Fort Collins, CO and the Millenium Arts Center in
Washington, D.C.
Kristianne is an artist and adventurer
exploring and capturing our world in images that express it's beauty,
intensity and gentleness. She has captured hundreds of signifcant images
during her travel adventures. Whether she is on top of an 18,410 foot
peak in the Nevado de Toluca or standing at the bow of a 38 foot
sailboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Kristianne is intrigued by
the play of light that defines the not so usual places in our world. She
has recently started to focus her vision on creating important images
of Southern California and her interest in caring for our coastlines
right here in Orange County was ultimately inspired by a two year
sailing trip to the most isolated islands on the planet. She contributes
a percentage of proceeds from all her fine art sales to Oceana and
Surfrider Foundation.
Statement: Since
the mid 1990s, my main point of departure has always been to put myself
into foreign locales and document the inherent beauty under challenging
circumstances. For example, the difficulty of arriving there (high
altitude mountaineering and sailing long distances over open ocean) and
the physical demands of the expedition (remoteness, comfortless and
unfavorable accommodations). Most of my photographs are location-based
but inconsistently include the human element–both subtle and obvious.
Only until recently did I begin to purposely photograph the people of a
place as well. Just in the last three years has my work begun to
incorporate the wabi-sabiness of humans too.
Until recently my
images were always presented as is; straight from the film with
in-camera crop, natural color and imperfections of the film and lens
included in the final presentation. I have only just begun to enhance
the images to be more true to my own personal vision. I now incorporate
retouching, other digital media and alternative mounting processes to
make the final work truer to my artistic vision. |
