Christina McFaul

“I was raised on a lake nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains of California, where fences were non-existent and I roamed freely. I I found my sanctuary amidst the rolling hills of oaks and transporting waters of Malibu Lake. This profound connection with the wild instilled in me a deep respect for our environment and a desire to protect it. My photography is an extension of this passion, capturing the raw essence of nature and highlighting the urgent need for conservation. Through my lens, I want to inspire others to see the beauty of our natural world and understand our critical role in preserving it.”
