Kapuschinsky is a self taught, internationally recognized, award winning fine artist specializing in rich, emotive monochromatic imagery. Using her maiden name in her photography is a way of paying homage to her father for sparking her love of photography when she was a child. Having six young children of her own, she finds her soft spot in artistic lifestyle portraiture, but also enjoys delving into architecture, nature and the abstract.
Although she currently resides in Northeast Pennsylvania, she began seriously pursuing and fine tuning her passion during the several years she and her husband of 18 years lived in sunny Southern California.
Kapuschinsky enjoys turning the mundane into magic by elaborating on a moment with the lights and shadows that are already there. Her belief that photography has the potential to display the same artistic expression as any other fine art by not only appealing to the senses, but also tugging at the soul resonates throughout her work. She loves the phenomenal way imagery can be used to express oneself while depicting a moment in a way that can strike a chord, tell a story, take the viewer back in time or bring a plethora of forgotten memories back to the viewer. She feels that if she can make the viewer look at one of her pieces in a way they never had before and it invokes feelings that they otherwise may have never encountered, then she has accomplished her purpose.
Kapuschinsky's imagery has been recognized both in and out of the photography industry since the start. Her heartfelt series about a childhood without technology has been published in media outlets worldwide. Her works have been showcased in exhibitions in London, Thessaloniki, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Edinburgh, and here in the US in Texas, New York City and her home state of Pennsylvania. Her online presence has awarded her titles in competitions on Viewbug, Gurushots and Shoot & Share. Along with being a finalist in both the 2017 and 2015 Clickin Mom's VOICE Collection, Christine was also shortlisted in the Open competition of the 2015 Sony World Photography awards by placing ahead of over 78,000 images. Her monochromatic work has garnered attention from both digital and print magazines and has also been awarded various placements in Child Photo Competition's International Black and White contest in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Additionally, Kapuschinsky was recognized by Expert Photography as one of their "21 Most Influential Child Portrait Photographers to Follow in 2021"
Sony has been Kapuschinsky's gear of choice since she began to seriously pursue photography 10 years ago. She pairs her A99ii and a900 with vintage Minolta glass, reminiscent of the days she started out on film with her father's Minolta X-700, which she hangs onto to this day. Because she's always wanting to help others learn and grow in their pursuit of photography, Kapuschinsky also offers both short and long term mentoring for the growing artist and an intensive workshop for intermediate and advanced photographers that specializes in helping others shoot and edit emotive monochromatic imagery.
2020 marked an exciting year in which Kapuschinsky was included with the flagship team of Lensbaby Ambassadors, promoting the artistic glass as well as creating all kinds of artistic imagery with them. If she's not busy home schooling, mentoring other photographers or taking pictures, you'll most likely find her chasing after her lively children, enjoying the outdoors, or watching movies with her husband.
