Claire Hambrick is a portrait and documentary photographer currently based in North Carolina. She describes her style as a mix of creative photojournalism: invoking tools of composition and light to tell multifaceted stories in a single frame, and environmental portraiture: composing visual duets between subject and environment.

Claire is a 2024 United Arts Council grantee and graduate from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

While a student, she created the University’s first and only culture and lifestyle magazine, MIDAS, where she served as Editor-in-Chief and later as Creative Director. She spent the summer of 2022 in Brooklyn, NYC, as an editorial intern for VICE Media Group.
