Landscape and Natural Photography
Clive A. Cork
Clive was born and raised in Jamaica, W.I. He studied automotive engineering and worked in the sugar industry, the mining industry, and was the manager of a dealership. He migrated to Miami with his family in 1983, where he concentrated on Government Fleet Management and Consulting until he retired in 2009. Clive developed a love of photography in the early 1960s, focusing mostly on portrait, wedding, and event photography.
His career obligations and regular jobs entailed much traveling, to look at equipment, their operation, and maintenance, then recommending and writing the specifications to purchase the most suitable equipment for the companies he worked or consulted for and teaching the mechanics of how to repair and maintain the equipment.
He found out that taking photographs to use as illustrations was a very effective aid in his presentations, if each photograph told a story. Some of the locations visited were so beautiful and diverse that he started photographing the sceneries and people at work, a kind of photography which he grew to love. Now that Clive has retired and has the time to travel, he is pursuing fine arts, travel, landscape and nature photography. Clive is largely self taught and likes to go on photo workshops and tours, which allows him to take beautiful pictures without having to do scouting for great locations, someone else does that. Clive says it has always been important for him to make each photograph tell a story and hopes they inspire the viewers to want to visit these places.
