Hello, I'm Kristine Hinrichs

I'm a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based photographer who has been shooting and posting a photo every day in my thirteenth year. My subjects range widely but are primarily of the city, the city before dawn, the beauty of Lake Michigan, my travels, and a few country wanderings. My daily photos are posted on my Instagram, Flickr, and Facebook pages. If you'd like to scan through my images, head to Instagram. My award-winning work has been exhibited in local, regional, and national galleries All of my work is available for purchase. I can make prints up to 17" x 22" and facilitate larger work. My work has been printed as large as 10' x 17' (yes, feet). Given the shipping and handling charged by many sites and my commitment to quality control, your best bet is to contact me directly.

Aquae Nguvu Exhibition

Photographs Printed on Silk

These pieces are photographs that I print on silk - using pigment ink and specially treated fabric. The panel pieces consist of three panels - the outer two silk organza - suspended on clear rods in a clear bracket. They provide a 3-D effect and move softly in the slightest breeze. They are generally 17" x 25", 25" x 17" or 25" x 38", with a 5" depth. Larger pieces are available via commission. The woven pieces consist of two separate photographs woven in 1/4" or 1/2" strips. Each is two separate photographs taken a second or less apart. The remaining pieces are also printed on silk, backed by a light batting, and hand quilted. The stitches are approximately ten to the inch.

Outside Looking in Looking Out - Personal Project

These images make use of windows and reflections to show the city in a different light.

Essential, Invisible - Personal Project

I am drawn to those "essential" workers who don't get much notice - the invisible workers taking the bus to work in the dark, those cleaning our restaurants before they open, the delivery people - even the "street people" who clean the cans and recycles from our streets.
