About — David Clerihew

David Clerihew is a photographer and director known for his striking movement imagery and portraits that capture authenticity and emotion. His work is rooted in the discipline of creating through the camera, maintaining craft and clarity without relying on heavy post-production.

He has collaborated with leading global brands including Nike, Adidas, Stella McCartney, Tag Heuer, AMEX, Sky, HBO, and Hugo Boss, and worked with some of the world’s most recognised figures such as David Beckham, Karlie Kloss, Lewis Hamilton, Andy Murray, Foo Fighters, Jeffrey Wright, Max Verstappen, Jeremy Renner, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi.

Winner of two Gold Awards at the recent AOP Awards, David continues to balance commercial commissions with personal art projects exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy, London. His evolving practice also includes selective use of AI as part of a wider creative process — always guided by the same principles of authorship, originality, and visual storytelling.
