His father Alex Zwirner was a Captain (United States) in the US Army. His mother is a painter, Dion Zwirner. Zwirner is of German and Belarusian descent on his father's side, Finnish and English on his mother's. He moved frequently with his parents and younger sister, living in both the US and Germany. At age 11, his father was transferred and relocated the family to Presidio of San Francisco. The family relocated permanently in San Francisco after his retirement from the service. There Zwirner attended Marina Middle School, Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School and graduated from San Marin High School. Early careerChristopher Zwirner began his career taking photography classes at City College of San Francisco as well as Santa Rosa Junior College. In 1992, at the urging of an old roommate, he came to Los Angeles to work on a Japanese television show being produced there Ultraman. Afterwards he relocated permanently to LA and worked full-time as a lighting technician. He gained experience on many B-movies and low-budget films, many produced by Roger Corman at his then Venice, CA. studio. He eventually gained acceptance as a journeyman lighting technician into IATSE Local 728. Union membership made it possible to work on movies and television shows such as, Man On The Moon, I Am Sam, White Oleander, and Deadwood and work with people such as Norman Jewison, Miloš Forman, Roger Deakins, John Bailey (cinematographer), David Milch, and Dante Spinotti. PhotographyMaintaining a connection with photography throughout his time working in Hollywood, he credits his meeting of Gaelle Morand, a neighbor / friend and CGI artist at Rhythm & Hues Studios, as the inspiration to make a career out of photography{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}}. Working together to help each other build a separate portfolio of work eventually led to a partnership. Having strong skill sets from different parts of the film industry, they complimented one another, allowing them to create images that received attention from many in the photo industry.[3][4] "There are many more benefits than drawbacks for us," Zwirner emphasizes. "The best way to explain it is to use a band analogy. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were both great musicians on their own. But something really great happened in the collaboration. That's what happens when Gaelle and I work together: an amazing alchemy takes place."[5] Morand + Zwirner's work has been published internationally as well as in the US, in publications such as Blink, Oyster (magazine), Lucier, Prestige Hong Kong, Genlux, and they have photographed celebrities such as Kerli Kõiv, Olivia Wilde, and Dita Von Teese.
