I’m Lauren Schnell, social cinematographer, storyteller, and professional observer of the in-between, specializing in 4K short-form video content and photography.

Shot By Schnell was born from a desire to tell stories differently. Less forced. Less filtered. Less posed. More intuition. More presence. More honesty. I care about what happens between the big moments just as much as the moments themselves.

I work almost invisibly, blending into the rhythm of your day so the story unfolds naturally. I’m drawn to texture, movement, contrast, and emotion. Shot entirely on iPhone in 4K, not because it’s trendy, but because it allows intimacy without intrusion.

I’m here to tell your stories, no matter how wild or unconventional, corporate or romantic, deep or artistic, because they deserve to expressed with a creative vision and cinematic lens.
