“Claudia is that rare artist who is also a gifted teacher. Her infectious enthusiasm lights up a classroom, and her ability to communicate complex ideas simply creates the ideal learning environment.”
“Claudia represents one of the highest expression of documentary cinematographer currently in activity. Her eye is gifted with the capacity of easily capturing the light necessary of letting us viewers immerse deeply and without restriction within the story she films. And she is also profoundly effective and efficient in engaging students into thinking similarly and finding their own voices when filming documentaries. She is a joy to work with and one of the most brilliant cinematographers I know.”
“Claudia is a triple threat, a remarkable talent with extensive experience shooting with top directors from across the spectrum, who also happens to be an extraordinary teacher. NYFA students consistently love working with her. She helps even those who are intimidated by technology discover their confidence. As much as we’d love to keep her all to ourselves, I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Talk to Claudia about what it means to shoot in sentences or paint with lighting and you will know just how thoroughly she understands the language of film. She is that rare artist with great empathy, cinematic skill and the ability to communicate both on set and off.”
“Claudia is not only one of the great cinematographers, she is a natural born teacher. She doesn’t lecture, she engages emerging filmmakers with a series of exercises that are guaranteed to up the game of everyone from beginners to the most advanced shooters. Her workshop for my documentary students at Columbia Journalism School was always a class favorite.”
“Claudia is a brilliant cinematographer. Not only does she create and capture beautiful images, she gets to the essence of every story, scene and moment. She’s both an extraordinary storyteller and communicator. Having her on your side is like winning the lottery.”
