Biography
I’m half German sausage and half Italian sausage, and that makes for one tasty sandwich! My favorite past time is being on tour. There is nothing like being in a different city and state every day, constantly meeting new people and making connections.

Clinton Kemp: My Eye for Color
Clinton Kemp will present “My Eye for Color” at the November 26th meeting. He will share his favorite photos and discuss how color influences the images he is drawn to make as well as how he feels it impacts his post-processing decisions. His presentation will include photography from his wide variety of photographic interests including landscapes, cityscapes, birds / wildlife, intentional camera movement, photojournalism, street / portraits as well as night and astrophotography.
Color and color contrast are powerful elements in photography. Color can be used to evoke emotions, moods and feelings. It can also draw attention to specific subjects and create depth and dimension. Over the past 5 years competing in Dallas Camera Club, Clinton has come to realize just how much color plays a role in his photography. He will discuss how he tends to seek out subject matter with vibrant or complementary colors (those opposite on the color wheel) and to a lesser extent analogous and monochromatic colors. He has also recognized that color has influenced the places he has decided to travel to for photography. He feels the vibrant colors of San Miguel de Allende, the geothermal pools in Yellowstone, the warm colored terrain of the US Southwest, and colors of Italy and Iceland in autumn made them some of his favorite places to capture. And it’s the reason other colorful places like Greece, India, Morocco, Cuba, Cinque Terre, the Lofoten islands and Namibia remain on his travel bucket list.
Clinton grew up in Victoria, Texas. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in advertising design and photography from Stephen F. Austin University, he moved to Dallas and soon after started a graphic design, marketing and print brokering business in 1995. Being self-employed for almost 30 years has afforded him a lot of freedom and opportunities to fulfill his love of travel and photography. He is thankful that he’s been able to visit 23 countries, all while traveling on a budget. Clinton prides himself in doing what he can to stretch his travel dollars by taking advantage of deals, loyalty points and air miles.
Clinton joined the Dallas Camera Club in 2019 and has thoroughly enjoyed benefiting from the excellent virtual and live training opportunities the club offers. He has also enjoyed getting to know so many others who share the photography bug. DCC is the reason he purchased an Epson P800 printer and where he learned how to properly make a print. Clinton was named a Fellow of the Dallas Camera Club in 2021. Last year he got more involved by serving as club secretary and helping Thru The Lens newsletter editor, Nancy Mack. As the club celebrates its 90th anniversary, he encourages others to consider stepping up and giving back to the club by serving on the Board as a project manager or officer.
