Clinton Hussey is an award-winning commercial photographer specialising in conceptual, food, still life and, recently, motion. Since 1995, he has been creating distinctive editorial and advertising imagery for brand and magazine clients in his hometown of Vancouver and abroad.

Originally a design student at Vancouver’s Emily Carr College of Art & Design, Clinton stumbled into photography at first accidentally and then with conviction as he fell for its demanding mix of creativity and technical grasp - an intense relationship he recognised from watching his father, a musician, repair his instruments with surgical skill.

Though not a musician himself, Clinton has earned both Grammy and Juno nominations for his album cover designs; his photography has won multiple National Magazine Awards, as well honours from Lotus, Applied Arts, D&AD, City & Regional Magazine Association, the Printing Industry of America, Communication Arts, PDN/Nikon, and many others.

Today, Clinton is expanding into video, creating ad campaigns for clients such as Method, Panago, and the Children of the Street Society. When he’s not making pictures, he is building things and spending time on the ocean and in the mountains with his wife, Amanda - also a photographer - and their two children.

"My way through the world of Graphic Design and Publicity, together with my studies in interpretation and cinema, have helped me to become a photographer searching for a unique style.

After 30 years in Argentina, in 2009 I decided to embark on a trip around Europe. For three months I travelled around different places in Italy, France, England, Holland and Spain, capturing and gathering images of extraordinary landscapes and photographing strangers.

My trips in Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, the Amazon and parts of Australia have also contributed to what today is my day-to-day at DiegoBerroStudio. 18 years of experience in communication form an integral part of the interpretation and creation of each final image.

I have exhibited my work in countries like Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, the United States and Argentina. At present, I live in Madrid and both photography and art continue to be my greatest challenges."

Diego has worked with various agencies including McCann Spain, Vccp Spain, El Ruso de Rocky, Mc&Saatchi, RKPeople and Bungalow 25 Circus. His clients include Coca-Cola, Fanta, Aquarius, Loewe, Cortefiel, Santander, AXN, Bankia, Renfe, Suzuki, Freixenet, Loterias Quiniela and Pacha Group.
