Christine Kessler
Christine Kessler was an American fetish photographer, self performer and web-designer.
She had been behind the lens of a camera for most of her life. She enjoyed many facets of photography including fashion, fine art, erotic and fetish imagery. Her photographs have been included in numerous group shows and two solo gallery exhibitions.
Christine's portfolio is a testament to her photographic range. She was as well versed in creating classic, often haunting monochrome images as she was shooting vibrant colour stills. Her unique framing, her eye for beauty, and sense of humour won her fans the world over, and set her work apart from others.
In 2008 Kessler stopped producing new content and shut down most of her websites. No reason was publicly given for her decision to leave web productions though she continued to have occasional live gallery shows.
