Clive was born and raised in Jamaica, W.I. He studied automotive engineering and worked in the sugar industry, the mining industry, and was the manager of a dealership. He migrated to Miami with his family in 1983, where he concentrated on Government Fleet Management and Consulting until he retired in 2009. Clive developed a love of photography in the early 1960s, focusing mostly on portrait, wedding, and event photography.

His career obligations entailed much traveling, to look at equipment, recommend and write specifications for the companies he worked or consulted for, and teach the mechanics of how to repair and maintain it. He found that taking photographs to use as illustrations was a very effective aid in his presentations, if each photograph told a story.

Some of the locations were so beautiful and diverse that he began photographing the sceneries and the people at work, a kind of photography he grew to love.

Now that Clive has retired and has the time to travel, he is pursuing fine art, travel, landscape, and nature photography. He is largely self taught and likes to go on photo workshops and tours. Clive says it has always been important to make each photograph tell a story, and he hopes they inspire viewers to want to visit these places.
