A Brooklyn, N.Y. native, Carissa Pelleteri's photographs reflect her fondest memories of the past - the innocence of the school girl and her older generation mixed with a contemporary street sense. Carissa began looking at magazines at the age of 8 and that was the beginning of a life-long fascination with photography. Her magazine collection started in 1983. She first picked up the camera at around age 10, only to document and play with images of her world. Currently, she is shooting editorial assignments for magazines which include: JNC of Germany, Auto Pilot of Moscow, BlackBook, Bust, Giant, Trace, K48 and The Pop Manifesto. Her work has been shown in galleries such as Deitch Projects, D'Amelio Terras, and Agnes B Gallery, "Galerie du Jour" Paris.
