Teaches at Kathy Adams Clark Photography

I am a photographer, naturalist, and teacher. My goal as a businesswoman is to promote photography and the natural world through teaching. When people understand photography they can enjoy it for a lifetime. When people experience the natural world they will work to preserve it for future generations.

Photography has been my passion since I was a child. Then my world centered around playing outside but as a young adult I morphed into a full-fledge naturalist. Mentors taught me the names of the birds, butterflies, flowers, trees, and dragonflies.

Today I share this knowledge through my photography. My photos have appeared in hundreds of magazines including on the cover of AAA Journey, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and Texas Highways. Calendars produced by Arbor Day Foundation, Audubon, Barnes & Noble, Sierra, Smith-Southwestern, Tide-Mark and others have used my images. My photos have appeared in ad campaigns, guidebooks, textbooks, and brochures.

Every week my photos appear in my husband’s ‘Nature’ column in the Houston Chronicle. Since 1999, Gary’s column has taught readers about the birds, butterflies, and natural world around Houston and the world.

Gary Clark and I have worked on nine book projects over the years. Book of Texas Birds, and Enjoying Big Bend National Park were published by Texas A&M Press. Texas Wildlife Portfolio, Texas Gulf Coast Impressions, Portrait of Houston, and Texas: A Photographic Journey were published by Farcountry Press. Backroads of the Texas and Backroad of the Texas Hillcountry were published by Voyageurs Press.

Texas A&M Press also published Photographing Big Bend National Park. This book features my photos as well as my writing.

    Kathy Adams Clark did a great job of teaching an online photography class. I wanted to wait until in person classes start again, being incredibly ADHD(really) but not knowing when that will possibly be, I decided to try this. Clark was very thorough in her explanations, and even sent a recording of the class afterwards. I would for sure take another class with her if in person doesn't start up again (She's in TX, I am in CA)

    Kathy breaks it all down simply, makes it all easy to understand. I feel like I learned WAY more than I had expected to from a "beginner" course! Brought 2 friends with me, and they feel the same way. Kathy has a great speaking voice, so she's very easy to listen to. She is very organized, stays on track and finishes on time as well. We are looking forward to taking more courses with her!! Thank you !! Cheryl Kiser Jones Creek, Tx

    Great historic cemetery near Downtown Houston. Great vista towards the skyline, although time of day was difficult for a great shot. Kathy always gives great advice on ways to get the best shot in difficult lighting situations. She also introduced a new concept to me, zoom blur, using some of the angel statuary in the cemetery for a different look to our photos. I never fail to learn something new in one of Kathy's classes.
  • Making Money With Your Camera

    Reviewed by Sheila B. on 1/24/2018
    This class taught by Kathy is very informative. She gives a lot of information and references to make money with your camera. She offers many opportunistic ideas to the potential entrepreneur. She offers her knowledge to website design with various DIY on-line web hosts, as well as getting your DBA (Doing Business As) Certificate for starting your own photography business. She offers many ideas to determine what type of photographer you wish to become or are and the avenues of prospect each category of photography can bring. Kathy discusses the Photographer's Market and the variety of venues offered to display your photos. I took many notes on this class and Kathy gives you a handout with pertinent information as well. Very good class for the beginner with a lot of very useful information!
