Mini bio

How it started.

Fashion work first took Christina around the world. She began learning photography to document those journeys, initially shooting beauty and fashion before turning toward landscapes. In her Room 1903 interview, she said she started sharing pictures simply to show people the beauty of the places she visited.

Finding her audience.

By 2014, her Instagram had reached 80,000 followers, she told Fimela. Bali resort invitations followed, along with hotel collaborations abroad. She recalled an autumn tourism campaign in the Czech Republic as one of her first paid projects.

A photographer’s guide.

Her work grew into photo-led features for Forbes Travel Guide, including Bali, Raffles Hotel Singapore and Badrutt’s Palace. She pairs her own photographs with observations from the stay, giving fans a look at rooms, landscapes and the details of hospitality.

Returning to the gallery.

In February 2026, she opened A Quiet Becoming: Bhutan Through Stillness at Leica Store Indonesia in Jakarta. Christina called it her second solo exhibition, following A Life in Tuscany ten years earlier.
