Hey there, my name is Claire. I grew up in South Africa, have lived in England and now live in Southern California which, I think, has helped to give me a well-rounded view of the world and an appreciation for different cultures and ways of life. It's made me realize that there is more than one way of looking at something--which comes in handy with photography.

 

I have always had an appreciation for beautiful and creative photographs, but only really started learning what I could do with my camrea during a trip to Ireland in 2006. I am still learning, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this journey and loving the world that photography has introduced me to! Over the past couple of years I've had photos published in Somerset Life, Somerset Home, and Mingle magazines. Some of my photographs have been licensed by greeting card and home decor companies and my work has been sold throughout the United States.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day ;-)

I love visiting Claire's stream. It's fresh, inspiring, and filled with variety. Whether she's photographing cookies, dogs or nature, Claire's work is always well composed and filled with the romance of life. Even more interesting is how her images are like Claire herself. She's kind, generous, a lovely person and filled with a love for life. I see those qualities reflected in her work. I'm lucky to be able to count Claire as a friend. There very few genuinely nice people in this world. Claire is one of them. Thanks for sharing your world, Claire! Kellene
