Claire Waddell - Photographer

I primarily capture people and their environments, drawn to telling soulful stories that evoke a sense of nostalgia.

My style is editorial - calm and timeless, often moody and reflective.

I’m captivated by soulful people and things made by hand – old buildings, natural environments, and the objects and clothing that fill the gaps in between. If something has a poetic quality, it will catch my eye.

My work has been described as “sophisticatedly nostalgic”.

I work primarily with natural light, carefully constructing moments that build a narrative. I owe this approach to over 20 years of experience working with brands.

Yet I approach photography with an artist’s eye, guided by intuition. When I look through the viewfinder or edit at my desk, I’m looking for a feeling and something that moves me.
