Hi, I'm Claudia. I’m a professional figure skater and camera operator whose creative journey revolves around the allure of water in all its forms. From the flow of liquid to the gloss of ice, water has always captivated my imagination. I’m constantly inspired by how water connects us all.
“The beauty of being a camera operator lies in our deep connection to the storytelling of a film, where even the subtle act of our breathing can be visible on screen. A deliberate deep breath at a key moment, or the absence of one, can evoke a specific emotional response from the audience. We are the first spectators of the film, through the viewfinder.“ - Claudia S. Sepúlveda S.
