Crista Leonard

Crista Leonard is a portrait, documentary, fashion and still-life photographer based between Barcelona and New York. As a young girl caught in motion between France, Switzerland and Andorra a principality in the Pyrenees Mountains. Crista developed a deep sense of people and place, and a curiosity for the stories behind significant objects and unspoken moments. She honed her style neoclassical, serene and suggestive at London’s Goldsmiths University and has applied it to both her commercial and personal work for over a decade, most notably in a long-term documentary project exploring the idiosyncratic characters of maritime town Biarritz. In 2015 Crista launched luxury interiors magazine Philistine with set decorator and long-time collaborator David de Quevedo a premium platform for her and her peers to archive visual inspirations and experiment with new aesthetics. She is currently represented by Artlist and available for commission.
