About us
Photography, Methodology, Philosophy
Clark's first interest in photography evolved in 1975 while working for a whitewater rafting company on rivers throughout the western United States. He has traveled all over the world compiling a library of film and digital images both on land and above and below the surface of the world’s oceans.
Wide-angle underwater photography is the primary focus of AquaTerra Imagery. Clark has won awards for their work at the Monterey Shootout, The NCUPS Beach Dive Photo Competition and International Photo competition, the Bonaire Shootout, the LAUPS International Underwater Photographic Competition, and have been published in Sport Fishing Magazine and Lonely Planet.
Currently shooting with a Nikon D2X in Nexus housings. Underwater, Clark often uses four INON strobes with custom dome diffusers for special effects.
Our Oceans Need Help
Even though we have been diving for nearly thirty years, we feel as if we have missed the grand party where, in bygone years, oceans teamed with massive schools of fish, coral reefs were at peace from bombing, and cyanide fishing. Aquariums were not even in the dictionary, and bleaching was a natural process, not proliferated by human recklessness. Once whales migrated by the hundreds of thousands instead of washing up on beaches as bio-hazards, and turtles were so thick a person could walk across the water on the backs of their shells.
Global climate change, pollution and over fishing have put and end to the party, yet the world continues to use our oceans as if the party has just begun. We have treated the oceans as both our supermarket and our toilet. NOW has always been the time to make a difference. World leaders and governments are beginning to lift their heads. Our government still sits silent and refuses to acknowledge its impact on the world and its responsibility for its share of the damage. America must lead the way. If we choose the right path, governments like China and India will follow our lead. Inertia is a difficult force to overcome, and time runs short. We have always believed that through our photography and lectures that we can further open the portal to change. Be a “decider” yourself.

Humanity must seek out a peaceful coexistence within the natural processes that govern our survival. Otherwise nature may flick humankind off the face of the earth like a bad case of fleas, and the world will be inherited by the rat, the cockroach, and the mosquito.
