Claudia Lacave
Paris, France
Me ? It’s Claudia, 1m68 of energy and imagination, 23 years old and all her teeth.
I have behind me a full life of passions: animals, sports, travels. Interest of people too, their stories, their faces. Photography as intruded my life without no one notice it. From holidays Kodak to the compact mid-range, I went through figurative pictures at artistic research. What kind of photo could make this scene special ? How to show with pixels what I feel in front of? And always, the feeling of revealing itself with photos, to express without needing to shout.
Next to this gradual building, I studied History and then international relationships. One goal: to become journalist. And hope to make a difference. A camera to catch, a pen to explain. Specially attrackted by reporting and photojournalism, I’m thinking that news can improve life of people suffering.
To get experience, I worked for several medias : L’Humanité, Actuphoto, Dernière Nouvelles d’Alsaces. From unpaid internship to little food jobs, my photographic practice get matured as an autodidact, from Paris to Montpellier including Montreal. Landscapes of course, people necessarily, events like the lama international trade fair, but also some little things, as light crossing a window or artistic mess.
In the journalism school of CUEJ (Strasbourg), despite the great atmosphere and the choucroute, my impatience caught me. Result? I’m moving to Kenya for a year, with the urgent feeling that we need to speak about Africa. Correspondent for few occidental medias, I don’t let go of my camera and I am sure to find raw and strong stories.
