Bio

 
 

Andrew Thomas Clifton is a self-taught visual artist, creative director, and Imagineer whose work spans photography, videography, and graphic design. Raised across cities throughout the United States, he brings a sense of scale, contrast, and cultural depth to his visual storytelling. His work is rooted in the belief that a royal nature exists within people, places, and everyday objects, a philosophy he expresses with emotional clarity and reverence.

Beginning his photographic practice in 2005, Andrew has developed a timeless visual language, particularly noted for provocative black and white imagery, dynamic use of light, and an intimate connection to simple elements within complex environments. He weaves influences from science, poetry, and vintage cinema into a distinctive style he calls “Funky Fine Art Journalism.” His work has been collected, exhibited, and commissioned globally, with clients including Pepsi, Disney, ESPN, NBC, MTV, and President Barack Obama.
