PHOTOSNACK #522
Michael Clark is known for his bold, high-energy images of athletes pushing limits in some of the world’s wildest places. With a style defined by strong graphics, rich color, and dramatic light, he brings that same intensity and eye for detail to his work in the American West—capturing not just its landscapes, but the grit, culture, and spirit that define it.
You can join Michael at his upcoming New Mexico workshop (details below).
Until next time,

A big thank you to Santa Fe Workshops for supporting PHOTOSNACK.
Check out their The Western Portrait workshop with Michael Clark.
The Santa Fe region of New Mexico is steeped in the rich history and enduring spirit of the American West. Dubbed the land of Blood and Thunder by renowned Santa Fe author Hampton Sides, this area continues to echo the legends of the frontier. Today, the landscapes surrounding historic Santa Fe are still home to vast working ranches, active Western movie sets, and wide-open spaces teeming with livestock and native wildlife.
Explore the art of portraiture through the lens of the American West with longtime New Mexican photographer Michael Clark in the immersive workshop, The Western Portrait produced by Santa Fe Workshops. From working ranches to the iconic Eaves Movie Ranch, participants will craft compelling narrative scenes using both real subjects and professional models. A complementary blend of technique, artistry, and storytelling, this dynamic workshop helps elevate portraiture to new levels while chasing the myth and reality of the American West.
I can't imagine getting more action into a still photo than Mr Clark does, bravo!
Brilliant, exemplary, stunning, and even unnerving in many cases when you wonder how he got the shot.
