Callie Giovanna, born in Hawaii, is an acute observer of life. The nomadic lifestyle in her childhood and adolescence – living in over twenty different homes before the age of twenty-one - instilled in her a love of travel. The constant stimulation from her change in environment lent itself to her incredibly sensitive and discerning eye. Callie's images are gentle, tender, and her point of view incredibly disarming. Her sensitivity to natural light and subtle nuances in body language make her photographs haunting and memorable. She is the omniscient viewer in the room – always letting you in on a little secret and showing you the non-obvious perspective. There is a story to be told in each one of her photographs. Callie attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston as well as the Brooks Institute of Photography, developing her skills in both photography and digital imaging. From 2005-2010, she worked for portrait photographer, Norman Jean Roy, as his Senior Retoucher and Studio Manager. In 2011 she launched her own post production company, CHROMA Visuals, which is growing daily. In 2013, with her business partner, she started Vitae Weddings, which has allowed for travel domestically and internationally, contributing to her travel photography and telling photographic stories for couples worldwide. Her prints are available for sale through the Weiss Katz Gallery in New York City. Callie is based in Incline Village, NV and works as a travel and portrait photographer. She is available for commissioned work worldwide.
