Video 1 [Artist Talk Series] "The Wait We Carry" Orgin Story & Overview

Hey ya’ll, it’s Clifton Henri, nationally-recognized, award-winning, fine-art photographer… 

and I’ve got a story to tell…

Over 7 days in 2020…

72 collectors purchased 80 pieces of work sight unseen…

In my then untitled new body of work, for a total of $55,000+ in presales…

Before I had ever picked up the camera to even create the work.

This is the first time I introduced the concept to collectors of my work that I now call “instant appreciation”...

And it forced me out of my head and into creation…

Ultimately kicking off what would prove to be a grueling 18 month journey to finally produce what would become the now award-winning collection, “The Wait We Carry,” and share it with the public.

If you want to hear the crazy story of how one of my closest friends all but FORCED me to finally launch this body of work over a socially-distanced, 2 man brunch during Covid…

Over the next 10 days, I’m stretching myself and doing something totally new…

I’m sharing an in-depth “Artist Talk” video series about the title piece from my most recent Award-Winning body of work, “The Wait We Carry.”

During each day of the series, you’ll get my unique perspective about a different aspect of the origin story for “The Wait We Carry” - much of which I haven’t actually shared publicly.

  • DAY 1: Origin story of how “The Wait We Carry” Series was born, and what you can expect over the next 10 days

  • DAY 2: We’ll dive into the Inspirations for this specific piece, The Wait We Carry

  • DAY 3: We’ll talk about the Concept I landed on

  • DAY 4: How this piece fits into the overall “The Wait We Carry” series

  • DAY 5: We’ll get into the Technical Aspects of how I made the final piece

  • DAY 6: Who / What was used for the photo shoot and why

  • DAY 7: Day of the Shoot, how did I create the environment and mood, what was going on, what was I thinking, and how closely that aligned with where I ended up

  • DAY 8: Why THIS Shot? The personal significance of the moment that made the cut

  • DAY 9: Selecting the Title for “The Wait We Carry,” and the process I go through when titling my work in the general

I’m definitely looking forward to sharing the details behind the significance of this piece and why it’s important to me.

I hope that by sharing the “why” behind some of my decisions draws you in closer and provides some more context and understanding.

This is an important body of work and I can’t wait to share more.
