Claudio Edinger studied economics at Mackenzie University in São Paulo, Brazil. At the same time, in the beginning of the Seventies, he began to photograph. In 1975 he had a first individual exhibition, with photographs of the Martinelli Building, a vertical slum downtown São Paulo. The show was at São Paulo's Museum of Art Assis Chateaubriand - MASP. The following year he moved to New York City and lived there until 1996.

Throughout the 20 years he spent in the United States, Claudio developed personal photographic essays. He also worked as a freelance photographer for Brazilian and North-American newspapers and magazines like Veja, Time, Newsweek, Life, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, among many others.
