I am currently attending Gateway Community & Technical College and Northern Kentucky University, where I am seeking 4 Bachelor Degrees - including Graphic Design and Web-Site Design. I am also currently seeking a degree in Professional Photography from the New York Institute of Photography. While at school, I am devoted to learning and am a member of the National Technical School Honor Society. I am an award winning photographer and have traveled to numerous other countries in search of new and exciting subjects for my pictures. I cannot remember a time from my childhood that I did not have a camera in my hands. I loved nothing better than to take pictures of the landscapes and wildlife around me! During my travel I had the opportunity to live for a year abroad in Honduras (located in Central America). Of my awards for photography the two I am most proud of include First Prize in the Dino Zone Photo Contest at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens and acceptance of one of my pictures in the Capture Cincinnati Book in 2007. Out of all the pictures submitted, only 300 wound up in the book - including one of mine (page 91). There is also an accompanying DVD that contains 1,500 pictures, of which two are mine! While not attending school, I stay busy building my Photography and Graphic/Web Site Design business. I am currently working on several books that will not only feature my photographs but will be written by myself as well. Last year, I decided to take my graphic and web site design skills to new levels and launched cliftonscreativedesign.com. At my site you can check out all of the great and exciting products and services that I have to offer. Be sure to check out my portfolio for all of my latest design and web site that I have created and am currently the web master for. Coming this fall I will launch a new site: cliftonscreativephotography.com, where you can check out my photography portfolio, purchase fine art photography, check to see photography is being displayed and more. The next few months will be filled with great and exciting events.
