Have a look at Cristina Nuñez's autobiography in self-portraits:  SOMEONE TO LOVE

Born in Figueras (Spain) in 1962, Cristina Nuñez is a portrait photographer with a passion for bringing out the best qualities and strengths of her sitters. Her “charismatic” portraits have appeared in prestigious magazines around the world and a series of photography books.

She has realised numerous projects which have been published and exhibited in Italy and abroad: BODY AND SOUL, a book of portraits and nudes (Marangoni Award 1994, Florence); TO HELL AND BACK, on survivors from the Holocaust ; HEAVEN ON EARTH, a voyage through European spirituality (Mosaique Award 1996, Luxembourg Ministry of Culture); IO SONO, about liberation from drugs (2000) and YOUNG ITALIAN GENTLE MEN, on the next generation of Italian gentlemen (Valentina Edizioni, Nov. 2006).

From 2002 to 2005 she founded and ran the SOMOS photo agency to promote the work of young photographers and CHARISMANAGEMENT, a project for the affirmation of corporate identity through photography. During this period she also worked on group projects such as TALES FROM A GLOBALIZING WORLD (Thames & Hudson 2004) and QUOTIDIANO AL FEMMINILE, Peliti Associati, 2003.

After a troubled adolescence with drugs, Cristina Nuñez started to take self-portraits in 1988 as a sort of self-therapy. Since 2005 she holds self-portrait workshops to improve creativity and self-knowledge in Italy at the Domus Academy Milan, FORMA International Centre of Photography of Milan, the University of  Bologna , the Rudolf Steiner School in Milan for teenagers, in Finland at the University of Turku (Finland), Turku Academy of Arts, the Finnish Phototherapy Association, the Tampere University Hospital, in Spain at the Citilab Cornellà and in New York City at the Women's Health Center in Brooklyn and at the Institute for the Arts in Psychotherapy. 

In 2006 Nuñez creates THE SELF-PORTRAIT PERFORMANCE, a corporate training project with the use of the photo self-portrait.

She has published a paper in the European Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Routledge, Taylor & Francis, London. Coming soon: her book THE SELF-PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE illustrates her self-portrait method and philosophy, with numerous testimonials by her teenage and adult students.
