BIOGRAPHY
The passion for photography was born from an early age, almost for fun, when she begins to use her mother's camera to interview relatives and sometimes takes it secretly to take pictures. But it is during her high school years that Claudia approaches people, capturing their faces with a reflex of her parents who, just like a best friend, accompanies her everywhere. She begins to photograph her friends in their most spontaneous moments because, as she herself says, she couldn't stand them feeling wrong, but she wanted them to see their strengths, she wanted them to see themselves with the same eyes with which she saw them. After high school, Claudia enrolled at the European Institute of Design (IED) in Rome, where she has the opportunity to deepen her passion for photography, also from a technical and professional point of view. She herself underlines how portraying a person is not reduced to the simple act of taking pictures, but is rather "an evolving flow that ends when the image is created". It is an exchange between his feelings and those of the person in front of him, as in a constant dialogue between the two parties, in which there is a mutual sharing.
