About Me

My name is Ray Clark and I’m the owner of Second Street Photography. I’ve been shooting for about twelve years. When I bought my first camera, I had no idea what I was looking for or what features I wanted; I only knew that I wanted a “good” one. It didn’t take me long to discover that it’s the photographer, not the camera, that makes a great image: One who understands lighting and posing and emotion and composition.

Anyway, after a couple of years of photographing flowers and landscapes and buildings, I was hooked on photography - but suddenly, those buildings and flowers weren’t enough. Enter portraiture. Make no mistake, a great photograph from any genre will still choke me up, but a great portrait is what really moves me - and that’s what I aim to create. Every single time.

I’m a published photographer (my work has been featured in Fit and Bleep magazines) and I’m a member of the Professional Photographers of America and Professional Photographers of Ohio. Education is as important as experience in photography; and that’s why I’ve taken numerous photography classes at Columbus State Community College as well as other workshops and seminars. Take a few minutes and have a look at my work: You’ll see that my portfolio that demonstrates my skill. After you’re done there, drop me a message and let’s create something beautiful!

Oh - and “why Second Street and where is it?” It’s in Northeast Ohio — and Second Street is where I lived when I was a kid.
