Kristina is a photographer based in Los Angeles, California.

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 grew up with photography — my father was recognized Mexican American photojournalist, Rick Corrales, who helped the LA Times win the Pulitzer Prize for the history making 1984 Latino Series. He also created the patented Spinshot 360, among other inventions. 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 am a UCLA bruin and worked in Out of Home Advertising for about 10 years. I care deeply about lung cancer awareness in memory of my mom — I volunteer and served as a board member with The American Lung Association in California. I’m also a proud member and supporter of the Los Angeles Center of Photography, I have photographed for nonprofits such as Habitat for Humanity, Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue, and The American Lung Association.

I recently started working on my own series, Objects Left Behind, inspired by my parents who passed away from cancer in 2005 and 2006. What began as personal project became incredibly healing and empowering — I hope it speaks to you in some way as well.

Thanks for reading,

Kristina
