DoP and Cinematographer Claudia Raschke at Indiana University



As part of Canon’s University Education Program, award-winning Director of Photography and Cinematographer Claudia Raschke visited Indiana University. During her visit, Claudia held several workshops. During her lighting workshop, she showed the students her techniques for setting up a scene and lighting a room. During her Verité workshop, she taught them how to see in 360° and rely on their instincts to follow a story. She also held one-on-one critiques with the students giving them a new perspective on their projects. The students were also able to get hands-on with Canon cinema cameras and lenses such as the EOS C300 Mark III, EOS C70, EOS R5 C, multiple sets of cine primes and COMPACT-SERVO 18-80mm T4.4 EF zoom lenses.

Capturing the big and the small moments of the amazing world we live in feeds my passion for the art of cinematography. Equally important is that I bear witness to and document the unique stories that unfold before my eyes in a way that dismantles barriers, opens doors, and reveals truth. I believe that filming intuitively, honestly and without inhibition is a journey that requires a compassionate heart and the ability to see and hear what lies beneath the surface.” —Claudia Raschke
