Kristina Loggia

KRISTINA LOGGIA’s photography practice is marked by a deep understanding and reverence of the subjects she captures, blending personal history with broader cultural narratives. Loggia's approach to portrait photography is influenced by her childhood admiration for photographers like Harry Callahan, Diane Arbus, Dorothea Lange, and Margaret Bourke-White. She believes that every aspect of what she captures holds importance to contextualizing her subject, a philosophy that guides her work. Whether capturing celebrities or everyday individuals, Loggia seeks to convey honesty and authenticity in her images.

Born and raised in New York City, Loggia graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Initially following her family's tradition in acting, she studied at the Stella Adler Conservatory in both New York City and Los Angeles. However, a lecture by Ed Asner about the war in El Salvador ignited a childhood dream of becoming a war photographer. This inspiration led her to El Salvador with the Witness to Peace Program, where she discovered her passion for capturing truth through the lens of a camera. Although marriage and motherhood eventually kept Loggia from war zones, she continued to pursue her love for documentary photography, resulting in extensive photographic studies. Her work has been featured in numerous magazines and news networks, including Time Magazine, The New Yorker, SPIN, Detour, ESPN, Fortune, Telegraph UK, CBS Sunday Morning, NPR’s All Things Considered, The New York Times, among others. Her work has been shown across the United States in galleries and museums and is a part of several prominent private collections.
