C l a i r e d r o p p e r t 

I am Claire Droppert, a Photographer and Visual Artist based in Rotterdam in The Netherlands. Also known on Instagram as @claireonline with over 335k followers.

The trademark in my work focuses on serenity, simplicity and silence. I have a fascination for remote places and desolate landscapes and my aim is to capture the essence of natural elements in a unique way. My focus on minimalistic subjects combined with my unique editing style results in a signature of images that have a dreamy, ethereal look. Within my work, I would like to leave a positive, emotional impact that inspires others.

My work has been exhibited in national- and international exhibitions in New York, Paris, Brussels and Rotterdam and has been featured in publications and international media sites including The Huffington Post, Wired, ABCNews, Lightroom, Gizmodo, This is Colossal, FastcodesignDesign You Trust, Fubiz, Crispme, Bloginity, Bored Panda, Photographyblogger, Apple and Ellen DeGeneres.

I also have had the honour of creating commissioned work for brands that include Adobe, Canon, Strongbow and BMW. Find more information about my commissions here.
