Exhibiting Artists — studioQL × Hennessy
Kristen White
New York, NY
Kristen White is a New York–based, PG County bred photographer and filmmaker working across fashion, culture, and fine art. Her images unfold with the pacing of cinema and the patience of observation, lingering in transitional moments where gesture, atmosphere, and place carry as much narrative weight as the people in frame. Working primarily with analog photography, she treats risk as a collaborator — expired film, shifting color, and material imperfection become part of the work's emotional vocabulary.
