Chantal Convertini, born 1992 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is a photographer and artist. With a huge passion for film photography, she points her camera mostly & intimately at herself, then at her partner and last but not least at her friends.
Her work has been published in several magazines, online and in print and also shown in several group exhibitions mainly around Europe. Together with Imagenation and especially with KBH.G she also actively worked on bigger exhibitions as artist and curator.
In February 24 she got nominated for the Manor Kunstpreis Schaffhausen.
