Claudia Raschke

"Capturing the big and the small moments of the amazing world we live in feeds my passion for the art of cinematography. Equally important is that I bear witness to and document the unique stories that unfold before my eyes in a way that dismantles barriers, opens doors, and reveals truth. I believe that filming intuitively, honestly and without inhibition is a journey that requires a compassionate heart and the ability to see and hear what lies beneath the surface." -Claudia Raschke Cinematographer Claudia Raschke was born in one of the largest European ports near the Baltic Sea in Northern Germany.
