Claudia Vader, 26, is a multi hyphenate creative best known for her work with visual media. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she took to photography as a child as a way to document her travels throughout Europe before pursuing both photography and videography professionally as a young adult. At the age of 19 she co-wrote, produced and directed a remake of Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘The Godfather’ (“Linke Soep”) as well as a short documentary named “Room for Purpose”, winner of the Off Screen Film Festival 2017. Her first photography series called “The Long Way Home” debuted shortly after, accompanied by a string of short stories, and served as a love letter to serendipity and curiosity. Following her success in independent media productions, she worked on the art direction of “Black Widow” (original title Penoza: The Final Chapter), winner of both the Platin and Golden Film Awards in 2019.

Going back to her roots, she stepped back into independent photography in the later part of 2019, traveling across the world to capture the stories of people of all cultures.
