Christian Maislinger was born 1974 in Austria and his first passion was sports, especially the 110m hurdles. During his career as a professional athlete, he discovered his love for photography. In 1998 he began as an assistant at a well-established studio in Salzburg. At that time he focused on analogue art photography and worked for international artists and galleries such as Thaddaeus Ropac.

Christian currently runs his own studio in Salzburg and shoots advertising campaigns as well as fashion and lifestyle editorials for international clients and magazines. He recently photographed campaigns for Jette Joop, Lagermax , the "Voice of Germany” finalist Sharron Levy for Sprizzero, and a British campaign for Paul Green shoes.

Christian is currently looking for an agency.
