Christine Osborne è un'autrice e fotografa il cui lavoro si è addentrato negli angoli remoti del mondo, catturando nazioni in via di sviluppo e scoprendo paesaggi incontaminati prima del turismo di massa. I suoi pezzi, caratterizzati da una forte narrazione visiva e da un profondo coinvolgimento con l'esperienza umana, esplorano culture diverse e spesso si concentrano sull'impatto dei problemi globali. L'approccio di Osborne è sia artistico che documentaristico, con la sua fotografia e i suoi scritti che condividono una capacità comune di evocare empatia e comprensione per le persone e i luoghi che ritrae. Il suo viaggio di una vita le ha permesso di offrire una prospettiva unica su un mondo spesso trascurato.
