Christian Schild is an internationally working beauty photographer based between Germany and New York. Before turning to photography, he had already established himself as a successful hair and makeup artist, working with renowned clients across the fashion and beauty industries.

His photography career began almost by accident, when he started capturing Polaroids backstage during a series of spontaneous beauty shoots, minimal, direct, and with a distinctive visual style. The images quickly drew attention: a global beauty brand discovered them and commissioned Christian to recreate the exact aesthetic for an international campaign. This marked the beginning of a new creative chapter, this time behind the camera.

Today, Christian is known for high-quality, brand-oriented beauty photography with a refined eye for skin and light. His years of experience in makeup give him a deep understanding of how cosmetics translate visually, both in detail and as a whole. His style is precise, modern, and aesthetically clear.

His work is regularly featured in magazines such as VOGUE, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, and other international titles. His clients include leading global beauty brands who value his visual signature, technical expertise, and clear creative vision, whether for editorials, campaigns, or digital content.
