Asked whether she felt, because of her large social media presence, she had a responsibility to educate people on the nuances of life in a van, Ms. Schaffer said it was important for her to find “a balance between educating and sharing in a positive way, and hopefully encouraging people to also want to protect these places.”

“As opposed to policing” or gatekeeping the lifestyle, she said, “I’d rather inspire people.”

“I feel so lucky to be able to collaborate with Christian, I’ve admired her work for a long time so it’s a bit of a dream to work together on something.” - India Bourne

I was honored to collaborate with India on her December 2021 single release: Let It Snow. I first discovered India through her work with Ben Howard years ago, and she has been an inspiration ever since. It’s a dream of mine to continue working with musicians to create album covers and hopefully one day - music videos. Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Living and traveling on the road full-time with no permanent address is a dream that many photographers aspire to. For American outdoor adventure travel photographer, Christian Schaffer, it's as much about the simplicity of freedom within the world as it is about exploring her autonomy and inner psyche.

Capture One, developed by Phase One, is a powerful and intuitive software made for every photographer, so your photo editing experience is smoother and more precise than ever. I worked with the Capture One team to help review and launch their newest product, Capture One 20.

So incredibly honored to have my work included in this beautiful new book, 'Press PAUSE' by Axel & Ash

Press PAUSE is a space to take time out each week and reflect on where you are. A call for you to take 20 min a week to curl up in your fave spot and re-calibrate; to just think, feel, remember, explore, appreciate and celebrate life. Filled with fun questions, thought-provoking prompts, inspiring stories with Beau Taplin, Elise Cook & more, and 52 weekly journaling pages, it’s a place to explore ideas & desires, celebrate the highs, reflect on the lows; jot down your thoughts, feelings & experiences to keep forever.

“Adventure photographer” doesn’t quite describe Christian Schaffer. After just a few seconds staring at her work you know that in Schaffer’s world, landscapes look more like dreamscapes, and what most call outdoor escapes, she calls life.
