Kristina Shakht is a Russian-American photographer and visual artist based in New York City. Born in Saint Petersburg, her work draws from Slavic mythology, focusing on the female form and the desire to hold onto childhood.

She shoots on film. Her images are built around casting, color, and a quality of stillness that resists easy reading - neither documentary nor purely staged.

Shakht’s editorial and commercial work includes Marc Jacobs. She has been featured in i-D, Dazed, AnOther Magazine, Cero and S&M.
