“For thirty five years, I ran the gamut
of Fleet Street as a photographer with the Daily Express, The Sketch, The Sun
and Daily Mail, while feature writing for The Sunday Times and The Observer.
In 1972, my book, The Battle of Bogside published by Penguin, showing three years of fighting
in Northern Ireland won the Robert Capa Gold Medal from Life magazine ‘for
superlative photography requiring exceptional courage and enterprise abroad.’
My photograph of the first topless girl to appear in The Sun, however, has
failed to receive any official recognition.
After becoming Travel Editor of A La Carte magazine, I left Fleet Street to concentrate on travel
photography and writing. In 2008, Abbeville Press of New York published, India Exposed showing over two hundred of my photographs of the
sub-continent.
In 2013 I published my autobiography of my Fleet
Street years, Lost in the Reptile Housewhich is out now as an e-book on Amazon’s Kindle here and on Apple’s iTunes store for iPads here.
I have just released Talk to me
America which
is available now for Amazon’s Kindle here.” CLIVE
