Christina Hodnet

Born and raised in Southern California, I got my first experience in the film industry in front of the camera. Working with incredible photographers and directors across the US and Europe ignited a spark that led me to dump the engineering degree I was going for (what was I thinking?) and pursue a film degree at The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. It was absolutely the right path for me and I never looked back. Although my parents still haven’t forgiven me.

I pride myself on exposing the beautifully awkward and imperfect reality life offers up. Finding the small nuances that make a moment unique, I’m more interested in the moment in between the moments. The photo you don’t post because it’s not perfect, but in reality is more representational of your life and charming than the perfect one.

As a mom, perfect kitchens and ridiculously clean homes actually make me frustrated as it is so very unachievable. I love the mess of real life!

With almost 20 years of experience, I’ve been fortunate enough to have brought life to commercials all over the world. I currently live in Toronto with my Canadian film director husband, 2 kids, 1 dog, and a hamster that seems to be living way past his promised expiry date.
