About ArtChick®

I’m Kristine Di Grigoli, founder of ArtChick®—a commercial photographer and creative director focused on capturing character, energy, and brand stories. My career is defined by an unusual duality: the ability to command a room whether it’s a high-octane global dance floor or a federal office.

My roots are in the legendary North Jersey and NYC nightlife scenes. I spent years as the in-house photographer for Joey Harrison’s Surf Club and was personally hired by DJ Carl Cox during the MySpace era to capture his residency at Pacha NYC. From shooting my first major editorial on Questlove to documenting icons like the Sugarhill Gang, I learned to find the "pulse" of any scene under pressure. That same adaptability has earned me the trust of the legal elite; with every new presidential administration, I am commissioned to photograph the U.S. Attorneys, bringing prestige and technical precision to the highest levels of government.

I don’t just take photos; I direct high-impact visual campaigns. I specialize in full-scale production for fashion catalogs and e-commerce, ranging from cinematic "social-first" video content to high-fashion lookbooks and precision 360° ghost mannequin imagery.

Whether I’m directing a video campaign for a national brand or a magnetic portfolio for a model or executive, I build content designed to stop the scroll. Based in Center City, Philadelphia, ArtChick® Studio is a full-service creative hub where I’m often joined by my rescue dog and studio muse, Nina, who brings a calm, creative energy to every set.

Meet My Dog Nina

When I’m not behind the camera, you might find me with Nina, my rescue dog and occasional on-set model—she’s the heart of my studio and brings joy to every shoot.
