Through her work, Kristina Pentek intends to capture beautiful and otherworldly moments as they happen, often in unexpected places. As with any photographer, color and light are of a particular interest to her. She is fascinated with abstractions created by the natural world and juxtapositions where nature intersects with mankind.

Pentek looks for beauty in her day to day by paying attention to the details. Sometimes a simple change of perspective makes all the difference. She feels her purpose as a photographer is to present the viewer with scenes that are absolutely real but look otherworldly, painterly, fantastical or abstract. Nonetheless, her prints are the result of real scenes. Nothing is ever staged and none of her images are ever retouched or superimposed, the only alterations are cropping and minor color corrections.
