Bio

Hi, I’m Claudio. My nomadic explorations changed not only my life dramatically, but also the way I observe things. I’m convinced that photography is an universal language – and perhaps the most seductive of all art forms, as it helps to exalt our world consciousness, and might even lead the way to a more tolerant society. As a wandering photojournalist I strive to envision topics which I believe go beyond western imagination. I find myself becoming more and more jaded with unusual photo essays. Being well aware of the ongoing modernization I’ve set my focus on extraordinary traditions and strange lifestyles all over Asia.

Like what you see?

Get in touch and commission my content now! And in case my previous reportage work doesn’t fit your editorial needs, feel free to discuss a specific assignment.

Vietnamese Street Ninjas *********************************************** With the current heatwaves peaking at around 35 degrees, many seek out a nice spot for some decent tanning, thinking of a brownish skin color as the perfect summer gift — Not so much in #Vietnam though. Where I come from, to refuge inside during a sunny weekend is considered a criminal offense — Having frankly more rainy, foggy or snowy days per year, you’re better off enoying these sparse sun rays once they're out. Well, in Asia, things appear to be slightly different. Skin whitening has a long history, dating back to antique times. A pale complexion was seen as noble and aristocratic - only those rich enough could afford staying indoors, while the farmers baked in the rice fields. Until to date, getting sun-kissed is not what Asians fancy, they will do all sort of things to shelter from UV. Funnily enough, „the paler, the better“ even defines the summer street fashion. Enjoy my #VietnameseStreetNinjas series, photographed in my current base Da Nang in Vietnam (where the beaches remain abandoned until 5 pm sharp when suddenly an entire nation rolls down to the shaded waters). *********************************************** Hi, my name is Claudio, I’m a Swiss photojournalist visualising controversial topics from the Asian Pacific region. www.claudiosieberphotography.com *********************************************** #onselfassignment #foodforthought #documentaryphotography #photojournalism #pale #portrait #storytelling #extraordinary #white #beauty #reportage #fareast #summertime #ninja #streetstyle #streetfashion #fashiontrends #world #hot #everydayasia #photostory #streetscene #documentary #fashionista #streetphotographersmagazine #globalwarming #incognito cc @everydayasia @streetphotographersmagazine
