    About claudiamachuca

    Traveling at heart, meaning seeker and lover of life mysteries that move. I love the shapes and colors that speak through the image, and the various cultures and idiosyncrasies that bloom in every corner of the planet. With photography I immortalized my way collecting images of each place that I see, being a way of personal fulfillment but not professional so far. Since young, my interest in travel, contact with people and images has been instrumental I live with my heart and my camera immortalized. I want to contribute to the community through language expressing the image invisible aspects of life. I should win because I have the talent, spirit and the desire to learn and develop fantastic project Greenland Travel Photography Scholarship. It would be a dream come true.
