Claire Collins Leahy is a Photographer and Director whose work spotlights forward-thinking fashion, authentic beauty, and lifestyle storytelling through imagery that is effervescent, caught in the moment, and drenched in vibrance.
Born and raised in LA, Claire has been steeped in the arts from a young age. She was classically trained in piano at five, started working as an actor and shooting photos at thirteen and wen't on to study + graduate from UCLA. Claire believes all of her creative work inspires the other which gives her the ability and space to create a breadth of work that is versatile, unique and genre-defying.
When she's not behind the lens, you can find Claire cooking up a storm with her "beloved" husband Kurt, drinking cappuccinos with her girlfriends, climbing mountains, going to the theater, exploring new countries and soaking up the sun with her family in Carpinteria, CA.
Connection and collaboration are at the heart of Claire’s work, and her process. She quickly endears herself to her subjects with a natural empathy and gregariousness, drawing out genuine moments of infectious emotion that give a jolt to the heart and reinvigorate the viewer’s lust for life.
