Hi, I'm Clinton

I have been the University Photographer at WKU since 2008. I graduated from WKU with a bachelor's in Photojournalism and a Master's in Organizational Communication, so storytelling and photography have been a part of my life for a long time. I'm grounded in the documentary approach to photography, as I hope you will notice. Very few of my photographs are staged or directed. I prefer to show the world as it is, not as I direct it to be for my camera.

I hope you also notice my sense of adventure, both literally and figuratively. Whether on the side of a mountain, running on a new trail, or looking for a unique vantage point to show campus, I am always exploring the world around me. Never Stop Exploring may be the tagline for The North Face, but I apply it to my everyday life as well. To see the world with new eyes each day is the greatest gift and challenge I face. And I love it.
