Christopher Schlierf behind the camera

Christopher Schlierf – Cinematographer

Light, lenses and movement for commercials, music videos and films.

A director behind the camera

Because I direct as well, I read a script the way a director does and design light and camera from the first storyboard frame. I shoot for other directors, agencies and production companies, travel with a lean camera team and bring a post and VFX mindset to set, so plates, coverage and formats are right the first time.
