Christian Schmidt Photography

About

B E I N G S C H M I D T

„Schmidt" is one of the most common German lastnames. There are countless Schmidts. Even Christian Schmidts... Politicians, beer brewers, software developpers, lawyers, soccer players, roads, even schools... and photographers. All named Christian Schmidt.

This Christian Schmidt is one of the photographers.

Growing up as a Christian Schmidt means you have to try to set apart from all the other Schmidts.

Young Christian was a basketball player. With 15 he even played for the german junior national team. But then he found something better. A camera.

Born and raised in Göttingen / Germany ( with many other Schmidts). A photography school in Stuttgart followed by years of assisting other photographers ( no other Schmidts this time ). And, he always knew, as a Christian Schmidt you have to go the extramile.

Today Christian is working as an international recognized photographer . He has more than 15 years of experience, working for clients and agencies in Germany, Europe and the US.

His work always shows a passion for the Simple, the Graphic and the Atmospheric. His attention to detail and fine sensitive feeling for atmosphere brought him more than 100 awards and recognition in the art market. His problemsolving and calm attitude and his sense of humor helps creating oustanding work even when time is tight or weather is tricky. No matter if it's somewhere in the wilderness in Canada, from a helicopter in France or around the corner in his hometown.

Beside his commissioned work Christian is passionate about his personal projects. His work was exhibited several times at, for example the Paris Photo or the gallery Cameraworks in Berlin. Some of his work is available in limited editions and was sold to art lovers and collectors.

Christian lives with his family, two daughters ( and some other Schmidts ) in Stuttgart.
