Kristina Bozanich is a multi-passionate academic, celebrated photographer, and creative director. With a passion for the artistic process and the science of how audiences perceive art and relate to the world, she’s built a career honoring self-expression and individuality. Her purely artistic intentions for inclusivity resulted in international recognition and a U.S. Congressional Record Honor (2024) as an advocate for LGBTQIA rights while spearheading the historic pride celebration in St. Cloud, Florida (2022). In advocacy, Kristina has been interviewed and spoken about LGBTQ+ issues on national outlets, such as CNN, The Guardian, Reuters, The Hill, and international media such as Nikkei (Japan) and Telerama (France). 

Before picking up a camera, Kristina immersed herself in academia for the path of a primatologist. She attended the University of Nevada, Reno where she acquired degrees in both neuroscience and wildlife ecology and conservation (2015), and achieved a master’s in primate biology, behavior and conservation from the University of Roehampton, London (2016). While the study of neuroscience continues to influence her creative process, she left animal research to embrace her artistic side. For more than ten years, as a dedicated full-time photographer, her commercial work has garnered publication both nationally and globally.

She’s best known for a pandemic project, SPECTACLE, a self-produced show capturing the spontaneity and authenticity of life’s moments in a live shoot for online distribution. In 2022, the memorable episode featuring drag queens sparked a movement that led to the inaugural Pride celebration in the town of St. Cloud, Florida. Despite facing backlash for organizing a Pride event in a traditionally conservative community, Kristina’s unwavering belief in celebrating all people propelled her forward, cementing her commitment to artistry and inclusion. Overcoming obstacles presented by the State in 2023, she organized a committee of passionate volunteers and is credited for the inception of the St. Cloud Pride Alliance and “Proud in the Cloud”, a community supported event.

 

Kristina's work is a powerful force for fostering acceptance, which is reflected in her compelling art, unwavering advocacy, and the core principles of her company. Her photography, exhibited at Orlando's Fusion Fest (2024) and Gallery MCO (Orlando International Airport 2024-2025), serves as a testament to her ability to amplify marginalized voices and promote inclusivity. Further extending her impact, Kristina's expertise in management, content strategy, and creative media has been instrumental for clients like celebrity photographer, J. Vladimir, and she successfully coordinated Lake Nona's first 'Creator's Conference,' a landmark educational seminar for local creatives and business owners (2024).
