Claudia Leiding-Mushapaidze
World Art Photography
Since 1991, I am working for the German Foreign Office. I was posted to Bulgaria, Pakistan, Botswana, South Africa and Jordan. After my last assignment to Kampala/Uganda I returned to Berlin in 2019 where I am presently working in the Head Quarter of the Foreign Office until my next posting in 2024.
Early I developed a love for photography. Thanks to my profession, I have the opportunity to travel a lot and thus have access to local communities and people in their natural surrounding around the world. Portraits and people photography is clearly what I like most. But I also enjoy taking images of breathtaking landscapes, architecture, perspectives, especially in black and white. During my many years in Africa, I did not miss any opportunity to study the life and behaviour of African animals and was blessed with interesting encounters.
In 2015, I was the winner of the photo contest "Travel" at the German "Digital Photo" Magazine with the picture "The Flutist".
Enjoy my photos and feel free to contact me if you are interested in my images.
