LostScapes is a collection of photographic work from fashion, celebrity, and editorial photographer, Clifton Parker. It is a photographic memoir of the forgotten and the desolate, of lost memories and endouring relics. This collection of photos and memories are the biproducts of a soul searching journey that started many years ago and continues on until this day. These photos are one of a kind taken with vintage polaroid cameras and expired vintage polaroid film.
Clifton documents these life journeys and experiences molding them into a collection of polaroid visions and memories. The "LostScapes" polaroid series allows Clifton to escape from the high-tech digital world of perfect fashion, advertising, and editorial images. The polaroid process allows Clifton to embrace the eclectic and the unpredicable aspects of analog photography while temporarily satiating his wanderlust and restlessness.
Clifton Parkers studies of the arts have taken place at the University of South Carolina, Coastal Carolina University, Tokyo Denki University in Japan, and Focus Fashion Photography in Paris. The "LostScapes" photography series has appeared in numerous galleries and publications in America and Europe with a strong presence on the world wide web, personal collections, and a soon to be released book.
Clifton currently shares his time between his homes in Myrtle Beach, SC and Brooklyn, NY where he spends most his time doing music and photography, entertaining his cat Nahja, repairing his 1968 Norton Fastback cafe' racer, and riding his 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado police motorcycle.
