Artist, genious, professional, friend, Ryan Lue- Clarke encompasses all that there is to be in a world-class photographer. "Sean-Andrew Bennett".

Ryan Lue-Clarke Photography is a phenomenon - one that will take over the world.

I was able to appreciate Ryan's work through the world of deviantArt where I was simply amazed by the intensity of his subjects as he captured images and made them his own. Despite the countless photographers that contribute to the deviantArt family, Ryan's work has stood out and spoken for itself.

Glancing through the vivid, crisp, refreshing plethora of colours and subjects, one can easily deduce that Ryan Lue-Clarke is a master at what he does. The artistic eye for expression, balance, tone and so many elements that make up his raw talent that he has honed into a skill - in a journey influenced only by his creativity and his love for what he does.

Finding the beauty in despondent settings and bringing them to life is a classic motif in his work and it never ceases to amaze me. He manipulates his surroundings so we can see what he sees in his mind's eye, never failing to capture that shot. This is undoubtedly, a characteristic of a true artist - different in his medium, and method of capturing beautiful art for the future to see - but still with the creativity of the Pablo Picassos and the Claude Monets of years gone by. He is able to get that pure beauty of his surroundings and gives the world a taste of what Jamaica has to offer.

His style is not limited to anything. His extensive repertoire encompasses all walks of life, from looming macros to his appreciation for nature and the classic black and whites, enticing simple appreciators as myself to this world of photography. He also has the unique, dynamic concepts with that spontaneity that is Ryan Lue-Clarke and that simply cannot be copied. With this, he is able to capture refreshing shots which do more than pique one's interest - it pulls one into a new world.

Let's hope the world is ready for you Ryan. And even if it's not, still. TEK IT TO DEM. Keep wowing us, it's only a matter of time before the world knows your name. Quote from "Traci Wong"
