Award
winning Brazilian-American visual artist Alissa Christine channels
the true essence of beauty through her work and draws inspiration
from the pure and simple joys of life. Recognized for her professional
photography, Alissa's art spans mediums
with innovative fusions of photography, lighting, movement, painting, sculpture
and display... sometimes performed live.
"i
love miami 365® : daily photo documentary" is a year-long
photo project where every day of 2008 was photographed by
Alissa Christine in celebration of life witnessed at any moment. Each
photo is captioned with a personal commentary along with the title,
date, time and place.
The
mission: to stimulate consciousness and gratitude of the beauty of
everyday life through photography. Alissa showcases her love of The
Magic City weaving together thoughts and inspirations, cultures and
diversions, friends and strangers, locations and vibrations -- including
visions not typically seen in mass media. Some shoots were planned,
some were guerilla encounters, and some days were serendipitous surprises.
The
project also included interactive photo exhibits monthly throughout
the year, with a self-produced grand finale aerial photo shoot of
her celebration at the Standard Miami pool from an Ultralight airplane.
Accolades
include being named one of the "Top 100 Power Players" of
South Florida by Florida International Magazine, and winning first
place in Fotomission's 2008 South Beach Photomarathon Competition.
104 contestants were assigned 6 topics to photograph on South Beach
over a period of 5 hours. At the finish line, only 4 photos per topic
were submitted per participant, straight from the camera, with no
allowance for post-digital editing or retouching.
Other projects include a commissioned permanent photo/multimedia installation in each guest room of The Marlin Hotel in South Beach. Alissa
Christine's photography has been published in National and International
Magazines.
Creation
