== Early life and ''De Morgen'' ==
Claus was born in Aalst, Belgium, the third of four children. His father Paul Claus was managing director of international cultural affairs and also inspector at the national center for youth. His mother Anna Cordemans was a progressive writer for the ''Katholieke Arbeidersvrouwen'' (Dutch for ''Catholic Workers Women''). She died of cancer when Claus was 14 years old. Claus' grandfather (Marcel Cordemans) was the first editor-in-chief of the Flemish daily newspaper ''De Standaard'' (Dutch for ''The Standard''). Pol Van den Abeele, the first photojournalist of ''De Standaard'', was a close friend of the family, and introduced Claus to the world of photojournalism.
At age 18 Claus left school to travel and explore the world for several years. When he returned in 1980, he attended a photography course at the ''Royal Academy of Fine Arts'' in Ghent. Dissatisfied with the approach of some teachers, he left after half a year. In May 1981 he received his first assignment from the Socialist Flemish newspaper ''De Morgen'' (Dutch for ''The Morning''). Claus spent almost three decades as a photojournalist on assignment for ''De Morgen''. He specialised in Belgian politics and conflicts in Africa, the Middle-East and south eastern Europe. Claus documented the revolution in Romania in 1989, the AIDS problem in South Africa and the genocide in Rwanda. He also made portraits of Belgian politicians such as former Prime Ministers of Belgium Jean-Luc Dehaene and Guy Verhofstadt. He is renowned for his photographs are of ordinary daily life, such as ''Ronse''. In 2009 Claus won the Dexia Press Award for his outstanding contributions to photojournalism.
