Self-taught and propelled by an insatiable curiosity, Christof's journey into filmmaking and photography was one of hands-on experimentation. This foundation, enriched by extensive commercial collaborations with renowned international brands such as Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Bosch or Red Bull, now informs his ventures into narrative filmmaking and thought-provoking visual projects. He deeply values craftsmanship and tangible creative processes, often seeing them as a vital counterbalance to the increasing digitalization of our world.
At the heart of Christof's work lies a deep engagement with human psychology – the intricate dance of relationships, the tension between our creative and destructive capabilities, and the subtle "sublevel essences" that shape our individual and collective lives. For him, filmmaking and photography are not just professions, but personal journeys of discovery; a means to better understand his own evolving perspective on the world and to share it in ways that foster meaningful exchange, inspire curiosity, and challenge cultural homogenization. His recent explorations delve into the philosophical dimensions of our rapidly changing world, prompting reflection on emerging technologies and what they reveal about our own humanity.
Christof thrives on collaborations that are willing to look beyond the obvious, particularly across disciplines. And yes, that driving curiosity of his? It’s generally included in the day rate.
