About Linehan Photography... ...or more than you ever wanted to know about Clark Linehan So this is where I'm suppose to tell you something about me, and after all, you clicked on the one and only link to this page. I started doing photography as an 8 year old with my fathers old Argus C-3. For those of you old enough, that was a basic brick of a rangefinder camera that could probably be used as a small boat mooring anchor. It was totally manual, had a spring loaded shutter that you cocked for every shot and I learned the old Kodak sun at your back at f/16 rule with it. The exposure chart that came with film back then was taped to the back of the camera for reference. I got serious about photography during my years at Curry College while getting a BS in Biology in 1977. I did most of the sports and PR photography for the college while also managing the darkrooms. After graduating from Curry and intending to pursue a masters degree in marine biology (I also have an underwater photography certification) I took a detour into the family mechanical engineering firm, Francis J. Linehan, Jr. & Associates where in addition to doing mechanical design and construction supervision I continued doing photography of jobsites to document conditions and progress as well as finished project photographs for advertising purposes. While there I began studying electrical engineering at Northeastern University, but didn't have the time to finish. Upon escaping from the world of engineering I did a 2 year stint working in a camera store and studio on the Northshore. I was involved in both sales of camera equipment as well as a wide variety of studio photography. Linehan Photography began business in February of 1984 in Gloucester, MA, initially starting with a variety of industrial and architectural clients, most of whom I'm proud to say I still work with today. The vast bulk of my work back then was shot in medium and large format film explaining the original logo graphic, the ground glass of my 4x5 view camera. I've since had the opportunity to work with a variety (some might say bizarre) of clients needing a full range of photography and imaging skills. The foundation of my work is my ability to do lighting. What is a photograph without great lighting? Over the years I've had friends and clients who have brought me in to photograph a wide variety of assignments beyond the commercial work which has been the foundation of my business. Take a look at the "Unusual" category to see some of the challenging subjects I've dealt with over the years. I have a large investment in lighting equipment which enables me to work in a wide variety of industries with subjects from the extremely small to large (three stories high in some cases). I'll let the individual galleries of images stand on their own for showing the range of work I'm capable of and quality of the lighting I bring to my images. I love a challenge so combined with my ability to photograph almost any subject I've been a very long term user of Photoshop, going back to Version 2.1. I was a beta tester for Adobe on Versions 3, 4, and 5.
