Bradley E. Clift has spent the last 25 years capturing time and moments of life around the corner and around the world. As a documentary photojournalist, he has shown life at its most beautiful and its most extreme. He has photographed civil war, famine, natural disasters throughout 44 countries. In the U.S., he has covered a variety of stories in 45 states on assignment, including two World Series, two Super bowls, and political conventions.

Brad has provided photographs for over 5,000 newspaper articles, and his work has been published in most major magazines, including Time, Newsweek, Stern and Paris Match. He was also a member of the world famous "Day in the Life," book projects whose participants were invited because they were considered the best in the business. One of Brad's photographs graces the cover of the "Day in the Life of California" book.

Acclaimed for his startling portraits and graceful pictorials, Brad's pictures and photo essays have told the story of complex social issues, such as drug addiction to the journey of immigrants to America. His picture stories on Ecuador earned him his second Robert F. Kennedy Award for international photojournalism. His first RFK award was for the sensitive images of a young burn victim.

Brad is the only newspaper photographer to be named Master Photographer by the New England Newspaper Editors Association and Associated Press. From war zones in Africa to the back yards of Connecticut, Brad has been able to capture personal documentary images that seem to stop time. In 2006 Brad changed his focus to personal documentary photography, bringing the same skills he has employed throughout his career as a photojournalist. He is presenting his documentary wedding photography and kids' photography in several unique ways, including leather bound picture story books called, "Storybook Weddings ™" and through slideshows on the internet. He is also offering ipods for family and friends to share photos, a system he calls "ipod image sharing ™."

Brad has photographed weddings in Iraq, Russia, China, France and Ecuador, as well as beach weddings on Cape Cod and in the Caribbean. His experience telling stories through pictures is unparalleled.

Brad volunteers his abilities to local and international charity groups and has contributed his time and efforts to Connecticut's Burn Camp, to Human Rights Watch and to the High Commission for Refugees. Brad and his 7-year-old son live in Wethersfield, Ct.
