Join world renowned cinematographer Claudia Raschke for our Day 2 keynote as she shares her insights on how she forged her path as a documentary cinematographer in the film industry. 
Her first steps into visual storytelling were learning to look through the lens of a still camera. B&W stills and experimentations during the printing process propelled on to a journey that kept evolving. Every step she took revealed a new point of view of how to capture a moment in time. From documenting her family in super 8mm film to developing cinematic approaches for 35mm movies to impactful award winning feature length documentaries, Claudia’s passion for cinematography was unwavering and grew despite the many obstacles she encountered.
Her passion for the art of cinematography is fed by capturing the big and small moments of the amazing world we live in. It is equally important to her that she bear witness to, and document the unique stories that unfold before her eyes in a way that dismantles barriers, opens doors, and reveals truth. Claudia believes that filming intuitively, honestly, and without inhibition is a journey that requires a compassionate heart. The ability to see and hear what lies beneath the surface embodies storytelling through cinematography. 
She will also be sharing photos and video clips as well as insights and tips.
