2024 Envelope Oscars Roundtable

Christina House is a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times. She officially joined the visual journalism team in 2017 after spending 10 years as a freelance photographer. House grew up in Long Beach and graduated from Cal State Fullerton. Her love of photography began at the age of seven when she visited her mother’s native country, the Philippines. That unforgettable experience inspired her to pick up a camera. House won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography and the 2022 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for National Photography for “Best Work in Hollywood,” an intimate look into the life of a 22-year-old pregnant woman living on the streets. She is the recipient of the 2021 Cliff Edom New America Award and the 2021 National Press Photographers Assn.’s Best of Photojournalism award in the Portrait Series category for her work on “Game Changers: A Celebration of Women in Sports.”
