Exhibition Photography Testimonial

“Cristina provides an excellent service as a professional photographer for events and exhibitions. I have hired her repeatedly to photograph arts events, including private views, book launches, demonstrations, presentations and exhibitions, since 2013. Cristina is amazing. She completely understands what is needed and how to capture natural photographs of everyone at an event. Her sensitivity to visual art and the way she can capture the atmosphere of an event are her huge asset. She has a great touch composing dynamic images, and produces a great mix of wide angle shots and details. She is a real pleasure to work with, relaxed, calm, professional and attentive. She is efficient, turns up exactly when she says she will, and returns skilfully and thoughtfully edited images in a fast turnaround. I can thoroughly recommend Cristina’s services as a photographer, particularly if you have an art, cultural or creative event that you need coverage for, or you need professional product or portrait photography. She is great at what she does, and is a lovely person to have around too.” Daisy McMullan FRSA, Curator

Being in another country on the other side of the world from her, I can not thank Cristina enough for making it so easy and for being so flexible to be communicating with. She was able to project my vision of what I wanted for my website to perfection. She went above and beyond, down to the details that I myself had not thought of. She had an excellent eye for my website, an understanding of what I was about, and her ideas to better my vision for my business were amazing. I am absolutely in love with her work. ” Georgina Mendiola, Makeup artist and hair stylist, www.geomendi.com

Magazine Cover Illustration Testmonial

“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.” Mircea Pricajan, witer, translator, editor. Founder of the Suspense Review Magazine and co-Owner at Ka-Tet Press

Book Cover Design Testimonial

“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

The integrated blog is a great plus and the site accessible to update and keep lively.

“Cristina has made the whole process of designing an up-to-date modern website a most enjoyable experience. We first looked at examples both from her own work and from other artists that I admire. Through a rational, well-organised process, the overall structure was established and then the content and products added to my shop. It felt like constructing a bespoke new house. Cristina was ever patient and creative during the whole process.

My site was launched on time and on budget and Cristina has even helped make a couple more adjustments since. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Cristina’s website design and development to others.” Stephen R Wood, painter  www.stephenrwood.com
