His work involves the supernatural and tropes of historical exhibitions, blurring the line between fact and fiction with supporting documents, authentic and counterfeit, which are exhibited along with the photographic work.

Schneberger is a founding member of the Perspective Gallery, a non-profit gallery of photography in Evanston, Illinois, where he also serves on the Board of Directors. Christopher Schneberger is an Adjunct Professor at Columbia College Chicago and at the College of DuPage. Schneberger has an MFA from Indiana University and a BFA from the University of Florida. His recent exhibitions include the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, Dorsky Projects in New York, Geocarto International in Hong Kong, the 3D Center for Art and Photography in Portland, and Printworks Gallery in Chicago, where he is represented.
