Iain Clark

Iain Clark is a practicing photographic artist whose work is in the permanent collection of The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery and in numerous private collections in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and India.

Iain is recognised for his unique portraits. It is his passion for people that has led to his ascent as an in-demand portrait artist. Iain’s technique has been described by the Scottish National Portrait Gallery as “sitting somewhere between photography and painting”. The camera and the photograph are only the beginning of the creative process, and the subsequent manipulation of the image creates a finished portrait which is intended to capture the essential person.

“I am fascinated by the human condition and the huge variety of faces that I see every day. I believe that each and every one of us is unique and special. When I work on a portrait, I strive to bring out something of the sitter’s soul.”
