Born in Nigeria, Christina spent her early years in Lagos, before moving to join her immediate family in London. Here, she found visual inspiration in film and music videos. Drawing many of her formative references from the sensitive combination of composition and mood found in cinematography – a quality that is noticeably present in her own work today.

Christina’s practice is dedicated to presenting her subject in their truest essence, whilst additionally using her work as a powerful platform for visibility of Black and POC subjects. By utilising various techniques, and soft, subdued light, she aims “to highlight not only the range of beauty that we possess, but also the various ways in which we can be presented”.

Her work has taken her around the world, and brought about transformative experiences, working with subjects she admires. Shooting for 10 Men in Nigeria offered Christina the opportunity to return home for the first time since childhood - a chance both to showcase and collaborate with exceptional local talent, and to spend meaningful time with family.

Christina has been named both a British Fashion Council New Wave Creative, and as a Forbes 30 Under 30 Arts & Culture Leader. Her work was included as part of exhibition ‘The New Black Vanguard: Photography Between Art and Fashion’, curated by Antwaun Sargent, and debuting at London’s Saatchi Gallery in 2022.

More recently, in January 2024, two of Christina’s portraits were unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery in partnership with Chanel. Her editorial and commercial client list includes 10 Men, Apple, Browns Fashion, Disney, Farfetch, GQ, Google, Nataal, Netflix, Nike, Paul Smith, Selfridges, Vanity Fair, and British Vogue.
