CLIVE MINNITT

Long term Light & Land devotee, Clive Minnitt is one of our most experienced leaders. Photography became his passion following a two and a half year back-backing adventure around the world during the late 1980’s. His love of the outdoors coupled with a never-ending desire to travel and explore the world make him ideally suited to leading our tours.

Clive’s mischievous sense of humour coupled with his enthusiasm for finding & producing great images, is infectious. In his eyes, combining photography and having fun are inextricably linked. Working with his great friend and colleague, Phil Malpas, Clive has led over Light & Land 35 tours to many locations.

In 2008, Clive self-published his first book, Clevedon Pier – a celebration of England’s finest pier. The book was critically well-acclaimed and led to a second, commissioned publication entitled Finding the Picture, co-written with Phil Malpas, and published in the autumn of 2009. This successful book is the third to be produced in the Light & Land master class series, following Working with Light and Developing Vision & Style, and is an important aide to photographers of all levels, who occasionally suffer from ‘photographer’s block‘. Both Fuji and Panasonic have used Clive’s images to advertise their own products. He also writes for Outdoor Photography magazine on a regular basis.

“Being a photographer”, says Clive,” is not like a job, it is a way of life.”
