Cairo, Cairo Governorate, Egypt
Claire Thomas is a photojournalist and fine art photographer from Wales, UK, currently based between the UK and Egypt.
From fine art to editorial, Claire’s approach to photography is rooted in her passion for storytelling, seeking to reflect the realities of life in a compelling, artistic and engaging way. In pursuit of powerful and honest imagery, her work seeks to convey a concept or emotion that goes beyond the image itself, providing a deeper insight into the stories and a connection with the subjects. Her aim is to produce exclusive images that are visually arresting conversation pieces that will evoke empathy, understanding and even inspire action.
Her photojournalism work is focused on issues relating to political and military conflicts, human rights, and humanitarian and environmental crises. From within the camps that emerged from the refugee crisis in Europe to the frontlines in the battle against ISIS in Iraq, Claire has covered a range of stories in various countries, contributing images and photo essays to leading newspapers, magazines and news agencies worldwide. Editorial clients include, among others, The Sunday Times, Geographical Magazine, The Guardian, National Geographic, Greenpeace Magazine and Al Jazeera. She also works regularly with UN agencies and international non-governmental organisations including UNDP, UNHCR, Amnesty International, OXFAM and Save the Children.
