Claudia Borgia is a documentary photographer who focuses on issues related to women, of any sex, race or religion, to the stories of feminism and trans-feminism, and especially to the stories of minorities. It is driven by the idea of ??being able to divulge stories of people who live in non-free conditions, and at the same time by the need to undermine the "macho" thinking of the society in which we live, together with the preconception linked to ignorance. Photography for Claudia is a social and, at the same time, personal research.
