“I don’t consider myself a photographer but I consider photography a means to represent my feelings and my vision.”
They say a picture paints a thousand words. And that is so accurate for the work of Italian based photographer Cristina Coral´s. Often driven by the research of beauty and aesthetic the Italy based artist fascinates with an incomparable imagery. It is a dipping into an alluring world of absorbing colour combinations and rare poses embedded in surprising geometrical perspectives. We had a short chat with Cristina and are showing one of her series called “Making architecture” that deals with the perception of a place.
When did you start photography?
My first camera was my mother’s camera: a Benicini Comet II film 127, I was very young and my first photographic subjects were my family. I have chosen the camera as an artistic expression seven years ago. My approach to photography and it’s development was almost entirely self-taught. I don’t consider myself a photographer but I consider photography a means to
represent my feelings and my vision.
What camera do you use?
Usually Nikon digital.
“My inspirations? Observation of reality, thoughts and emotional baggage of memories.”
Inspirations
Observation of reality, thoughts and emotional baggage of memories. My works are very often driven by the research of beauty and aesthetic. The setting and decor are very important in my work. Every day life seems to be the best source.
What project are you currently working on?
I will continue working on my personal projects, a collective exhibition and some editorial publications and enjoy life.
