In their 2011 Masters issue, Digital Photo Pro magazine even went so far as to proclaim him a “Master of Adventure”, a title that he has very rightly earned.
As an ongoing contributer to several publications including, National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure, Sports Illustrated, Outside and Men’s Journal just to name a few, Michael has risked life and limb on more than one occasion in order to capture those intense, raw images of athletes pushing their sports to the limit.
He uses unique angles, bold colors, strong graphics and dramatic lighting to capture fleeting moments of passion, gusto, flair and bravado in the outdoors. Balancing extreme action with subtle details, striking portraits and wild landscapes, he creates images for the editorial, advertising and stock markets worldwide.
As a former physicist Michael has worked on both sides of the technical revolution – helping refine the technology and using it for his current profession. Michael has worked as a professional photographer since 1996 and added digital photography to his repertoire in 2003.
While Michael still shoots some film, mostly medium format, the lion’s share of his images are now produced with high-resolution digital cameras. In addition to shooting still images, Michael has also launched Michael Clark Productions, which produces top-notch motion and video pieces using state of the art digital cinema cameras.
