Cris June

Born and raised in Germany, Cristina Franceschini has lived and worked in Italy for several years. She mostly prefers street photography while not neglecting documentary photography, still life and photojournalism. She loves the challenge of framing, of timing and of seizing and chasing that elusive split-second opportunity. She has always enjoyed observing human beings and documenting everything that strikes her, especially on a humanistic and social level.
When she photographs on the street, without staging anything and without letting people pose, she has a spontaneous, direct, realistic approach, in an attempt to capture fragments of the peculiarities and history of people, that is, parts of the intrinsic nature of the human (including psychological) condition. She tries to grasp what emerges beyond appearances and to stop the moment and time that pass by inexorably. According to Cris, life resembles to a stage and she tries to convey emotions in each photograph that should make the observer feel present in the individual scenes that are real and composed by life itself.
