clint clemens

Clint Clemens was a great speaker and his beautiful photography that he showed the audience on Thursday night, spoke for itself. I had never gotten an in-depth perspective from a professional photographer so it was very interesting to hear him talk about the logistics of getting a good shot. Looking for light and looking at things from a different perspective were two main things that he always considers. Many of his greatest shots were taken when the unexpected happened and his subject was caught off guard. The trick to action shots is to limit the amount of variables to zero in on one thing and capture it. In a broader sense, he talked about sustaining a place in an industry that is always changing, especially with new technologies. He discussed a lot about the struggles of photographers to get paid for their work and the perseverance needed to become successful. I really enjoyed listening to him and looking at some of his best photographs.
