I'm Claudia Sofia Sepulveda Solis, a camera operator whose creative journey revolves around the allure of water in all its forms. From the flow of liquid to the sheen of ice, water has always captivated my imagination. Born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico, my passion for film led me to Los Angeles in 2021, where I dove headfirst into nature.

Every day behind the camera feels like a personal adventure. I’m constantly inspired by how water connects us all. And with the camera, I have a chance to reveal the delicate dialogue between nature’s fluidity and the human spirit. I wish for my work to be deeply rooted in the belief that the interconnectivity of nature and humanity is both powerful and essential to understand, especially when it comes to conservation.
