Band & Music Photographer based in Leeds, UK. Specialises in colour or black and white photography of bands, live/gig/concert, backstage, studio and promotional shots.
When she was just 8 years old, she imagined she’d grow up to be a famous artist and would marry Michael J Fox. By the time she was 10 she knew all the words to The Doors and wanted to be big enough to ride her own motorbike. At 12 she was drawing true to likeness portraits of Jim Morrison whilst her friends were listening to Take That! Today, not an inch taller but her determination to become one of the best photographers in the world is what keeps her breathing! In her world she hears nothing but sees everything, her pictures tell a thousand stories deep below the surface. No moment lost, no cry unseen, no look untold... you can hear the laughter, the music, the crowds as if you were there. Claire’s unique approach to her work has found her working with industry leaders such as NME, Kerrang, Rock Sound, Sony Records and many of the world’s top independent bands and artists.
Claire has photographed bands like The Kooks, Dirty Pretty Things, Maximo Park, The Pigeon Detectives, The Who, Juliette and the Licks, The Unseen, Aiden, The Zar, The Marshals, The Evangelists, Noisettes, Xenith Sound, Anti Flag, Bullet For My Vallentine, Forward Russia, Fighting With Wire, Tiny Flags, The Humour, Amusement Parks On Fire, The Academy Is, Captain, We Are Scientists, Flaming Lips, Shit Disco, The Sunshine Underground, Little Ze and more...
