About Photographer Clint Randall
Photographer and owner of Pixel PR Photography Clint Randall
Here’s me with my first proper camera
a Pentax ME Super 35mm, already a camera nerd at 14.
My dad’s studio back in the 1970’s.
I’ve always been interested in Photography, as I kid I would spend most of my pocket money on film and processing. Back then it was so expensive that I used to write down the camera settings of every photo I took and then compare the results when the prints came back from the lab. It cemented the basics of aperture and shutter speeds in my head long before secondary school.
I tried a bit of war photography in the 1990’s in the former Yugoslavia.
When I was 17 I got a job as a Trainee Photojournalist with the Oxford Journal. They sent me to Sheffield to study Photojournalism a couple of moths at a time for 3 years. I passed with distinction in 1990.
I stuck with press photography for 22 years and I had a ball, I got to meet some extraordinary people and experience things that I would never had experienced in any other job.
Princess Diana in her happier days, I photographed her several times, but always invited, I never did the paparazzi thing.
Once again my old buddy Mark and I went off seeking adventure riding dirt bikes from Hanoi to Saigon along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Here’s me as a bit of a poser shortly after qualifying.
My war photography career was short lived, I got very scared and decided it wasn’t for me.
I got to meet some interesting people, sadly some turned out to be bad.
This was for a feature on the training of Police Officers in Los Angeles.
I stayed in Journalism for 22 years and loved it. But the internet and the iPhone pretty much killed it off for me. So I left my last paper, the Western Daily Press and set up Pixel in 2009.
In my spare time I like going to cool places on my motorbike. This is me and my mate Mark at Everest base camp.
Apprentice and third generation Photographer
My daughter Becky has recently joined the family business as an Apprentice Photographer. She’s always been keen on Photography and has long been helping me with editing. I’m delighted that she has chosen to join me and she has shown some great promise, already having had some of her pictures published.
