Christopher Schroeder is a contemporary photographer whose work oscillates between documentary and artistic photography.
His photographs are characterized by a meditative silence, a deep melancholy and poetry that can be found in moments of loneliness or being in transit. The majority of his work was created during travels – Christopher visited more than 50 countries and all continents.
Christopher lives at a lake in Southern Bavaria. Previously he has lived in Hamburg, where he was born and raised, Munich and Beijing. Each year he spends a couple of weeks in France to photograph and to paint.
Additionally, he surfs, participated in meditation silence retreats in Indonesia and Norway and regularly practices yoga. These aspects strongly influence his photographic work too.
Christopher completed a course in documentary photography at the University of the Arts London. Besides photography, he is also dedicated to painting and writing. He studied painting at a private art school in Nuremberg and at an art academy in Italy.
