Claudia Malecka – Behind the Scenes

I’m an artist, director, photographer, and creative lead based in Berlin, working across film, photography, and audiovisual storytelling – often where fashion, music, and culture collide. My roots are Polish–Italian, and my surname is pronounced [maˈlɛtska]. With a background in design, film, music, and fine arts – including a Master’s in Visual Communication from the University of the Arts Berlin – I move between single-image shoots, full visual campaigns, and independent artistic projects.
I direct, shoot, and edit audiovisual narratives that explore emotion, identity, and atmosphere – shaping the creative direction from concept to final image. While I often stay hands-on, I thrive on the energy of collaboration and strong teams. My work has been shown internationally, including at the Poster Museum in Warsaw, and awarded – among others – the Emerging Talent Award at the B3 Biennial of the Moving Image.
