My name is Clem Ono. I’m a photographer, husband, dad, drinker of tea, not coffee and lover of film and music.

Someone once told me, ‘if you do what you have always done, you’d get what you’ve always got’. Creatively speaking, rules restrict and constrain me, so I find myself exploring ways to circumnavigate them. Compelled by the insatiable desire to document the banal things of everyday life in a language shrouded by ambiguity and mystery.

I’m inspired mostly by great artists, particularly from the abstract expressionism movement of the 50s as well as some great photographers who pioneered the use of colour film in the early 40s and 50s. Their work, ethos and passion helps frame my world view as well as pushes me to become a better Photographer.

Parallel to all that, I have worked on a number of high-profile commissioned shoots drawing on my street and urban photography skills.

Limited edition as well as open prints are also available to purchase here.

My work has been featured in various international magazines, blogs and websites.
