Clint Calder Photography

Timeless, authentic photography. 

What you will see in these photos is the world how I see it. I want you to see what I saw, the way I saw it. Very limited touchups and filters. Let’s be real.

I was born and raised against the stunning backdrop of Utah's rugged landscapes. My journey into photography began during my youth, sparked by my grandfather’s obsession with film photography and love for hiking. Experimenting with various camera body styles, film, digital and old school lenses helps me fine tune my eye and more importantly, using the equipment to capture the scene in it’s purest form. Fate led me to New York City in 2013 where I started to invest heavily in studies, practice and equipments. I attended workshops, meetups, rented all kinds of equipment and worked with very impressive professionals that helped me get a grapple on this incredibly saturated and diverse art form. Though I became a city boy, I maintained and nurtured my eye for wild west landscapes. You will have to let me know if you agree when you look through my NYC city scapes and photos. In 2018 I returned to Utah, invested in Leica Cameras, yet still maintain a handful of old school film cameras.

I am rarely home, I live out of my truck and/or motorcycle and always have a camera on me. If you ever catch me without one, give me a high five and I’ll send you a free print in the mail. Try me!!

Professional Background

My professional photography career began at Deer Valley Ski Resort, where I learned to adapt my equipment on a dime in order to capture images that skiers would want to buy. This is where I gained an interest in action and portrait photography. Once I moved to NYC, I started shooting for social media purposes. This meant high contrast, saturated colors and high intensity moments. I shot content for Castrol Motor Oil, Triumph Motorcycles, Fashion, Anson Calder and a handful of other clients you wouldn’t recognize.

I currently spend most of my time growing and managing RockOn.Media, where I continue to shoot portraits, product photography and social media content.

Drop me a line, follow me, ping me. I would love to learn and experiment with you!
