Ryan Clark Photography

Photography has always interested me as the medium in which to freely express the emotions in my mind. Being interested in photography at an early age I got my first camera, a Polaroid Land Camera. Though mostly a self-taught photographer, I was always a student of taking photos and print manipulation. While practicing photography at the Visual Arts Center in Portsmouth, VA, I learned how to develop and print photos in a darkroom. This led me to converting one of the rooms in my house into a functioning darkroom, and for many years I developed negatives and made prints for clients and art shows.

The photographs that I love to take are a reflection of my soul. I aim to capture a moment in time that is fleeting, overlooked or possibly unrevealed to the naked eye. I look for beauty in even the most trivial scenes while attempting to transmit that via photography.
