River Claure (b. 1997) is a Bolivian photographer and visual artist living and working in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Having been born into a family of immigrants from a small community in the Andean highlands, Claure grew up in the city experiencing the tensions between his own indigenous roots and the urban realities of the early 21st century. He received his first training in his hometown of Cochabamba and later studied contemporary photography in Madrid.

Claure is known for his meticulously constructed portraits and magical landscapes. In his work, he questions both dominant notions of cultural identity and the importance of photographic images for our notion of reality. Claure’s work has been exhibited in various platforms and institutions around the world including the 60th edition of the Venice International Art Biennale.
