Christopher is a German-born American writer and former award-winning cinematographer.
He is currently writing The Impossible Event, a science-fiction mystery thriller trilogy that blends speculative science, hidden conspiracies, and high-stakes investigations in a search for truths that may be more dangerous than the mysteries themselves.
Before turning his focus to fiction, Christopher spent more than two decades working in film and television. After graduating from the State Vocational School for Photography and Media, he began his career with the German television network ZDF before moving to Los Angeles, where he was accepted into the American Film Institute (AFI) Conservatory for Advanced Film and Television Studies.
Upon graduation, he received the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Gregg Toland Heritage Award for his thesis film Shadows. His first feature film as Director of Photography, Lakshya, earned him both the Filmfare Award—Bollywood’s equivalent of the Oscar—and the Global Indian Film Award for cinematography. The film has since become a modern Bollywood classic.
His work has taken him around the world—from being chased by elephants in Kenya and losing his favorite hat to a minefield in Egypt to navigating the rainforests of Costa Rica, filming at 17,796 feet in the Himalayas, shooting on Hollywood and Bollywood sound stages, and camping in the Mojave Desert to capture a Holy Grail time-lapse of the Milky Way.
Dividing his time between the United States and Germany, Christopher now brings the same cinematic sense of scale, atmosphere, and suspense to his fiction.
