Clay King
“The attractive everyman”
Clay is the picture of “handsome male model.” At least that’s what it seems like all the females who view his photos I’ve taken seem to think. He’s in his mid-twenties but can pull off a wide range of age looks with some simple lighting tweaks. Probably one of the most versatile […]

I saw this ad in PDN and was looking at it pretty closely and some things looked familiar. It was shot by Clay Blackmore, a wedding and portrait photographer from Baltimore Maryland (not far from South Central PA).

I just read in the PDNewswire email from PDN magazine that photographer, Patrick Schneider, was fired for adjusting a photo in the Charlotte Observer. The photo in question was a silhouette of a fireman with a bright orange sky.
I’ve read a number of stories where photojournalists have done editting in post-production and have changed […]
