“Cristina is very professional; her work fully met my requests. She helped structure and create a fantastic website for Artpeggios and offered great advice so as to give the best image of my teaching agency. She’s fast and efficient. Cristina is an artist who I like to work with.” – Benjamin Gasiglia, Director of Artpeggios

“Cristina’s composed, professional approach reassured me from our first meeting.
She showed immense patience as I fussed and changed my mind on countless occasions, calmly guiding me through the entire process, making valuable suggestions along the way.

Cristina has helped me create a beautifully clear and comprehensive website, propelling my work into the design world, it’s so nice to finally showcase my work through my website.

I am still able to email Cristina for support and advise which has been invaluable and have no hesitation in recommending Cristina to produce a website for you!”

Cristina Schek is creative, patient and thoughtful, and truly cares about designing the perfect website for the client. I am delighted with my new website and cannot thank Cristina enough for responding to my woolly brief with visual flair and clear guidance. I would wholeheartedly recommend her. She’s also an excellent photographer (who manages to put even the most awkward of subjects at their ease). – Ruth Cairns, Featherstone Cairns, Independent PR Consultancy

“Having a great book cover is extremely important as I believe the cover is the selling point for the book. Maybe it shouldn’t be, but let’s face the truth, people continue to choose books by their covers. Or their titles.

I am familiarised with her work from the Suspense Magazine, where she illustrates the e-zine’s cover, and I always appreciated her power to translate key words into powerful images. She was my first choice for a book cover designer and my best one. Using only a few key words, the cover was all done in under a week. The whole process from discovery, to design, to revision was a pleasurable experience. I credit the cover design to drawing in virtually every potential reader into purchasing my book. I feel like my writing was expressed perfectly in Cristina’s design.

I highly recommend Cristina Schek to all the authors looking for the best cover for their book. She harvests magic from colours and shapes.” Cezarina Anghilac, writer

“Cristina has been first class in redesigning my website. I first hired her for a photography shoot and then we discussed how the images would fit into my website. We came to the conclusion the website would need a change of design. I’m so pleased with the results and would highly recommend Cristina to anyone. She has a true passion about the work she does and is very professional, efficient, creative, helpful and great to work with. Genuinely a very easy experience for someone like myself who is not at all tech savvy.” Lindsey Gibbins, Hair & Make-up Artist

“When managing an on-line magazine, it is of the utmost importance to have good quality imaging services. We at Revista de suspans (Suspense Review) chose Cristina Schek for this task, the photo artist known as Cristofor. She delivered us photographic material for two issues so far, and we’ve been more than satisfied with the finished product. She understood perfectly the concepts we required photos for, she proved a great deal of imagination in dealing with light/shadow, color/absence-of-color in the photographic material we commissioned her for. In fact, after her success with our first issue, we proposed her a separate portfolio for each new future issue.

Therefore we can recommend Cristina Schek, aka Cristofor, as a professional photographer. She is a real asset for any business; that is why we chose her as Suspense Review’s in-house photographer. We urge anyone to do the same. ”
