Claire began her career by pursuing a degree in Social Work, however, she changed her
focus to Photography when she realised that change can also be effected through this
medium. Her ongoing documentation of marginalised communities within prosperous nations has recently won her the Magnum Foundation 2010 Inge Morath award for Female Photographers under 30 years of age.

Since beginning her career pursuing personal projects in 2007 Claire has quickly gained praise for her unique style receiving support from Getty images as an Emerging Talent in Reportage in 2009 as well as representing Australia’s Emerging Female Photojournalist for Foto Freo 2010. She has recently joined the renowned Australian Documentary Photo Collective “Oculi” and her work is distributed through Agency VU in Europe and Redux in the USA.

Claire lives in Perth Western Australia where she works as a freelance photographer and socially concerned documentary artist. She is available for assignments home and abroad
