Christina Lazar-Schuler Photographer - Photographer from Vancouver, BC, Canada

“I think all art is about control – the encounter between control and the uncontrollable.” ~ Richard Avedon

As an experienced fashion and portrait photographer, I enjoy working in natural daylight almost as much as I love the control of a studio session that is lit to perfection. What I love even more, is the uncontrolled connection between myself and my subject/model. The energy of that connection is as unpredictable, exciting and makes my job worth waking up for.

My style is fashion oriented, modern and elegant, with edge and occasionally a bit of humor. I love a beautiful image that is filled with life and drama and and strive to capture images you will remember for a long time.

Personally, I'm a relaxed and fun photographer, characteristics that shine through the lens and communicates my connection with my subject(s). I’m a seriously un-serious person, but when it comes to shooting, I'm efficient, easy-going and professional at all times. My motto is "I am what I am, and that's all that I am" - and yes, I am channeling my inner Popeye ;)

TESTIMONIALS
Here are some recent testimonials from the people I have worked with over the last few months…
“I love working with Christina. She is always professional, super organized, fun and always makes the models (mua’s & Designers) feel comfortable. Love her home baked treats too! ;)” ~ Amanda Bond - MUAH

"Christina at Filmwerx is one of the most creative and professional photographers I have worked with. She is patient and kind, and has an excellent eye for that special shot. I would highly recommend working with her!" ~ Chevvy Piston - Model

"Christina is the best!! I’m a makeup artist and I have shot with Christina quite a few times. She’s organized, professional, photos are ALWAYS gorgeous, very speedy and very on top of things. I never had to hunt down photos after shoots (which happens often in this industry), and if photos get published it would have been Christina’s hard work in finding out which magazine works best. She is a load of fun to shoot with!! ~ Heidi Cheung - MUAH

"I have been so blessed to stumble upon Christina. She is such a wonderful talent to work with. Respectful, consistent, amazing results everytime! So fun to work with, she creates a comfortable environment for her models, mua's and stylist to unleash their creativity and therefore achieve amazing results as a team. Whether you are in front of the camera or not, she brings out the best in people! I always look forward to working with Christina on any project!!" ~ My Makeup Wonderland By Elena Ismail MUAH

"We've worked with Christina to shoot our look books on multiple occasions. She is well connected to modelling agencies and has a great network of professional hair and make-up artists to call upon. She is great at selecting models who suit our brand's image and who are easy to work with. Her studio is clean, professional and well run and she is able to manage time well to ensure that a specific format/timeline is executed. She is able to deliver photos quickly whether it's directly following a shoot or as needed for media inquiries. It is always a pleasure to work with Christina." ~ Lexi Soukoreff | Daub + Design
