Bio
Christina Gandolfo creates colorful, narrative-driven imagery of people and animals. Her earliest photos were of family cats and dogs in clothes and costumes (long before dressing pets was a thing). Before becoming a professional photographer she was a newspaper beat reporter, magazine editor and sports journalist who covered endurance sports on 5 continents. She loves making big plans, noticing the small things, going with the flow, and finding scrappy solutions to problems big and small.
Her work has been highlighted in PDN, APhotoEditor, American Photography, Luerzer’s Archive and The Huffington Post as well as numerous magazines and print publications.
