Claudia van Luijk (1974, Holanda) http://www.claudiavanluijk.nl/

Desde que acabei o curso da Academia de Fotografia, em Amesterdão, participei em exposições e realizei diversos trabalhos como fotógrafa free-lancer.
Gosto de fotografar objectos e ambientes, encontrar harmonia em imagens aparentemente caóticas e dar-lhes outro significado. 
Actualmente, estou, por seis meses, em Lisboa, para trabalhar num projecto pessoal sobre os Ciganos em Lisboa.
Procuro uma imagem das suas vidas, famílias e casas, diferente da usual: o nomadismo e a pobreza.

I finished the academy of photography in Amsterdam and, since then, I took part in exhibitions and worked as a freelance photographer, working for varies clients, mostly in Amsterdam.
My preference goes to photographing objects and environments, to find harmony in an, often chaotic, image and give it another meaning than just being a room or a street. People are not especially necessary in that picture, but do often take part to amplify that image as I see it. 
At this moment I am stationed in Lisbon, Portugal, for 6 months, to work on my project about the “Ciganos” in Lisbon.
Interested in their way of living, I try to give a personal image of their homes, their family life in the way I see it and not like people expect it to be: living as nomads and in poverty…
