Early life and education[edit][edit]

Kristine began learning photography at age 11. She was inspired as a child while looking at images of indigenous people in her mother's anthropology.

She graduated at 18 from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in San Francisco and immediately left for Europe. Although the two-year Fashion Institute program had taught her a lot about color, design, and graphics, she says, "I recognized that [fashion] wasn't going to be for me."[citation needed]

Career in photography[edit][edit]

She traveled through Europe, North Africa, and Asia making photographs. She especially gravitated to and responded to the bold colors of Asia. Shortly thereafter, she says, her work became more purposeful. She researched ancient cultures, including how they found meaning, whether through conventional religion, philosophy, or animism.

As a professional photographer, Kristine began traveling internationally in the early 1980s. She has visited countries on six continents and is focused on topics related to human rights and, in particular, modern slavery. Kristine is known to spend months connecting with her subjects by traveling with a translator to ensure the subjects' permission before documenting them on film.

In June 2021 Kristine was featured on CNN International.
