Christianne Ebel, a freelance photographer, is from a multicultural, multigenerational, multilingual household in NJ. Growing up she was surrounded by stories from all corners of the world and those stories became part of her. They inspired Christianne to seek out how people, things, events, cultures, and silent moments come together to make a narrative. She turned to photography to tell such narratives, regardless of how they came into being, whether through imagination or experience. Christianne worked as a photojournalist for nearly two decades before her lens became a medium for exploration in fine art and portrait photography. Her work explores the intersection of mental illness, trauma, the fragmentation of self, and personal narrative. Currently, she is pursuing a theory dealing with the use of visual language in relation to the formation of reality and the possible applications of both psychological and physiological healing modalities.
