Wet Plate | Portraiture

Experimenting with wet plate portraiture, the digital way. When an antique photographic process (discovered in the mid 19th century, used until the 1880s), isn’t quite alive anymore, you play with the legend. ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ Because, I’m an analogue girl, living in a digital world… ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ Join the mailing list.

The Starlet | Vintage Glamour Photoshoot

This started as a behind-the-scenes, in-between photoshoots, camera-in-hand-relaxing-mood snappy-snaps with the beautiful and extremely talented mezzo-soprano Gabriella Varvari. Gabriella has definitely got that rare Silver Screen look, the movie star quality. I have the most beautiful memories of that day.

“Cristina is a very talented artist on the contemporary photography scene, offering a wide range of services from portraits and product photography to fine art conceptual photography. Her pictures are creative and clever, revealing complex meanings the more one looks at her artwork.
From a client’s perspective, Cristina has made me feel at ease during a recent trip to Windsor, her posed and candid portraits together with the creative landscapes capturing very well the feeling of the day.”

Teodora Totorean, Mixed Media Artist, Art Writer and Book Reviewer

“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. ”
