http://www.lightstalkers.org/claudius-schulze As a photographer, Claudius Schulze travelled and worked in over forty countries, concentrating on extended photographic projects. Though a documentary photographer, he tries to depict the imagined rather than the factual, always striving to find the world that lies below the surfaces of the obvious. His book Socotra is a visual journey to the idea of islands, strange and magical. It earned him the invitation to become an Associate with the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain and a nomination for the World Press Photo’s Master Class. Claudius’ work has appeared in numerous international publications including Geo, Stern, Der Spiegel, GQ, and Men’s Health. His photographs have been exhibited in London, New York, Istanbul, and Brussels. Currently, Claudius is working on his next project, Apocalypse (Istanbul), which explores everyday life in a place that is doomed, asking questions about mankind’s dealing with risk and foreseeable death and loss. Prior to photography, Claudius Schulze was originally trained in Conflict Resolution. He studied Political Science and Islamic Studies at Hamburg University and received a Master’s degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution at Sabanci University, Istanbul, as well as a Master’s degree in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism at LCC, University of the Arts London. He currently lives in Brussels. He is represented by the German agency laif. Claudius loves his engaging Istanbul life, but you can send him on a worldwide assignment at any time. en-us Image feeds are temporarily unavailable due to heavy load on the Lightstalkers servers.
