This article is meant as a brief introduction to a photographer who gets very little attention this side of the Atlantic. We will hopefully be interviewing Carr in the next month or so and will write a longer article then.

Carr Clifton is a hard working photographer who has done as much for the environment as any other photographer but has probably done as little shouting about it as well. Hence we don’t get to hear about his work as much as Galen Rowell, Philip Hyde, et al. However, despite my first impressions seeing a couple of poorly reproduced mini-books, I have grown to really admire him as a photographer and quite recently to realise he is one of the real greats who should be a lot better known that he is (apologies to Carr if he is well known in the US, I’m writing this from a British/European perspective).
