Kristin Hoell is a German photographer from Berlin. Her photographic practice revolves around an interest in theatricality in documentary as well as staged photography, thereby testing the boundaries between the two. She increasingly explores spaces that could be described as being in-between.


Kristin Hoell's work has been exhibited in several group shows in Germany and the UK. She has also produced commissioned portraits and reportages for newspapers and magazines as well as non-profit and cultural institutions. She is represented by the Berlin-based photo agency Bobsairport.
