Biography: After a career involving traveling the world, and taking snapshots along the way, Claudia discovered intentional camera movement and slow shutter photography later in life. Using these techniques, she enjoys turning basic items into abstract art forms, and blending people in motion into their environments. When not slowly panning and zooming, Claudia attempts to turn otherwise ordinary travel photos into unique perspectives on the location.
