Christina Schmidhofer is a seasoned food, tabletop and lifestyle photographer, director and DP, known for creating work that feeds the senses.

Whether it’s food or flowers, people or interiors, Christina’s still and motion imagery has one thing in common. You don’t just see the beauty. You feel it and taste it.

Christina’s cinematically heightened yet vividly real aesthetic is the result of years of perfecting her lighting, composition and production skills. But while she and her team are technical wizards, Christina believes technique should ultimately be invisible. Its purpose is to make beauty, to make you feel emotion, to make you crave and salivate and long to step right into the world she’s showing you.

Clients like Williams-Sonoma, Banana Republic, Pottery Barn, and InStyle love working with Christina for the positive energy, sense of adventure, visual creativity, and keen eye for color and form she brings to the set. She’s that rare combination of delightful collaborator and decisive leader, who clients know they can rely on for her sense of design and intuitive creative direction.

Whether working in her bright, airy natural-light studio with panoramic views of San Francisco or on location, Christina brings a trusted team of creative and technical collaborators to the table, including best-in-class video production and post-production professionals. And in her studio, post-production isn’t something that just happens at the end of the job. It’s intentionally crafted into every phase of every project, from concept to delivery.

These days, stunning video content is more essential than ever, and Christina and her team can be your one-stop shop for everything from beautiful food and product motion work to how-tos, interviews, vendor-driven videos and more—handling everything from production, location, and casting to dynamic direction and DP work, as well as full post-production and motion graphics capabilities.

Every photographer will tell you about their style and their skills. But ultimately, it’s the work that speaks best for them. We invite you to check out Christina’s portfolio, and see, hear, feel, smell and taste for yourself.
