Carmen Klammer
Passionate about communication and creating beautiful things … as a photographer, as a web designer, and as a people person who believes in making dreams come true and helping others do so.
My Experience
People – Communication – Vision – Creation
I’m a people person and I love helping to bring a vision to life.
Photography and Web Design are perfect for this: capturing and sharing the beauty of life and living, helping to inspire and to grow, as a person and in business.
My languages are a very helpful tool for that too! Growing up bi-lingual in the north of Italy, and having lived in London for more than 20 years and in Paris for a couple of years, I am fluent in 4 languages and get by in Spanish too, while still trying to learn more Greek.
I’m based in Lucca, Tuscany, now, but I do travel so don’t hesitate to get in touch even if you are not local to me.
