David Clifford Photography

bio

I am a commercial & editorial photographer based in Aspen & Denver CO. You can find my work on Wonderful Machine and Found Folios.

I've been lucky enough to travel the world and document some of the best climbers and runners in the world. As the Photo Editor at Rock & Ice Magazine as well as Trail Runner Magazine I have forged life long relationships with many talented people. I enjoy spending time with both creatives and gifted athletes in amazing locations.

I have been selected as a Red Bull Illume finalist, an America 24-7 photographer, a PDN Outdoor finalist and a Maggy award for Photo Editing at Rock & Ice Magazine. We also just won the APA short video contest grand prize for best overall film. Thank you Shane Hurlbut and APA for the honor!

As a life long photographer I count myself lucky to have so many friends in the industry. I've also spent the last 2 decades on the cutting edge and have mentored a half dozen of the best outdoor photographers on the planet.

When I am not behind the lens I spend time with my wife Rixt and 3 kids, Miles & Sasha (twins) and the new little man Hayden. My passions are photography, skiing powder with friends, mountain biking, climbing, trail running or searching for a vintage Chevy 5 window pickup truck.

Thank you for spending time on my site. Please drop a line.
Best,
Dave
