Claudia Schechter has a passion for documenting diversity. Without words, she
connects with her subjects, embraces their cultures, and captures the
spontaneity of life on film, knowing fully that traditions are both precious and
potentially fleeting. Over the course of nearly two decades, Claudia's travels have
taken her far and wide -- from India and Ireland to Paris and Peru, Kenya and Cuba
to Myanmar, Vietnam, and Israel.
Claudia developed her eye for detail at Rochester Institute of Technology where
she studied still photography, television and filmmaking, and earned a degree in
Medical Photography. She began her career by photographing patients
undergoing plastic surgery and open-heart surgery, and documented dental and
veterinary procedures in teaching universities. While employed by Polaroid and Fuji,
Claudia shared her knowledge of film and technical effects with professional
photographers. Her appreciation and natural curiosity about life shows in the
sensitivity and artistry she brings to her work. Today, Claudia is pursuing her dream
seeing the world through The Listening Lens.
