Kristianne Koch's photography focuses on the way light reflects, refracts, sculpts and defines. Many of the images evolved out of a two year sailing trip she took with her husband to the islands of the South Pacific and Hawaii. Her images from this experience evoke tranquility. Shadows and highlights accentuate forms allowing the subtle details to come through.

It is in these details where Kristianne expresses her unique vision. Look for the hint of human element or the defining moment that makes each image stand on it's own.

The images are organized into collections that are named for the mood they set. Need a burst of color for your living room or bedroom? Peruse the Bold collection. Looking for a new perspective on life? Take a peek into the Unique collection. Each collection is described below for a quick reference.

BLACK & WHITE -Beautiful black and white images. Includes traditional landscapes from around the world to graphic vignettes of unusual and everyday objects and people. Most of the prints in this collection are handprinted by Kristianne herself. She loves to print on alternative papers and is happy to tell you more about the many unusual options available. Contact the gallery to set up an appointment to see a variety of paper samples.

OCEANS-Exotic images of ocean life throughout the world-including the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Society and Hawai‘ian Islands, Costa Rica, Costa Brava and Baja California. Bring a bit of Kaoha, Ia Orana, Aloha and Hola into your home. Accent a white bedroom with a series of these images in vivid blues and tranquil greens. Blue frames are
available as a special order for these images.

BEACHES-Studying photography and travelling the world has given Kristianne an edge in creating uncommon images of the area where she grew up. The coastal region of Southern California is home to her adventurous spirit. Enter the Beaches collection to find rarely seen moments of this area you'll want to bring into your home.

ABSTRACTS-Although every image in the gallery has an almost abstract and ethereal quality, the Abstracts collection makes available to you images only about texture and color. These vingettes show our world in a way rarely noticed in our busy lives. Color and contrast paint the subjects in a graphic and unusual way creating a contemporary statement in the rooms of your home or office.

MOUNTAINS-Rich colors and patterns define the adventurous images in the Mountains collection. Here you will find scenes of both rarely and frequently visited places around the world: below a bergschrund on the Hotlum Bolum ridge on Mt. Shasta or above the Massai Mara in Kenya. Let these strongly colored picturesque images of our world express your passion for adventure at home or at work.

PASTELS-Delicate tones and soft focus photographs make up this collection. The images are perfect for a room streaming with sunlight decorated in whites: a child's room or anywhere you need a subtle accent of soft texture and pastel hues. Ask about Kristianne's professional matting with large borders and handmade papers to accent your print purchase from this collection. White frames are available especially for these prints. Inquire when you place your order.
