Christy Schnabel
A native Angeleno, I grew up bodysurfing, playing volleyball and spending long days laying in the sand on Santa Monica and Malibu beaches. After graduating from UCLA, I opened Big and Tall Books, an independent bookstore/cafe on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. I later studied set design at USC and worked in the film industry on music videos and feature films. I was also the frontperson and rhythm guitarist of Ugly Beauty, recording three albums for Blackball and Atlantic Records and touring extensively. Currently, I am a partner at Institute Pictures in Vencie, CA, a production company co-founded by photographer Lauren Greenfield, and recently worked with Elizabeth Avedon to refine ON THE PATH for publication.
On The Path, Portraits from the Santa Monica Beach Bike Path coming soon...
