Biography

Michael Clark is an internationally published outdoor photographer specializing in adventure sports, travel, and landscape photography. His editorial and corporate clients include National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Outside, Men's Journal, Outdoor Photographer, Digital Photo Pro, Climbing, Nike, Nikon, Adobe, Patagonia, Pfizer and DuPont to name just a few. He has risked life and limb on a variety of assignments to bring back stunning images of rock climbers, mountaineers, kayakers, and mountain bikers pushing their sports to the limit in remote locations around the world.

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. He has been featured in Outdoor Photographer (September 2001) and Nikon World Magazine (Summer 2006) for his work with extreme sports. Starting in 2006, Michael also partnered with the Santa Fe Digital Darkroom to create a series of custom workshops.
