About
Bio
Abasi Clark grew up in Washington Heights section of New York City. Growing up around various cultures had a major influence on his appreciation for art and life. Starting as a cartoonist and illustrator you could always find him sketching anything around him. Realizing that some of the same sketches he made could be captured with a camera it was then that he would pick up a camera and then re-sketch the pictures he took once he got home. Abasi Clark Obtained a Psychology Degree from Hunter College and studied at The Fashion Institute of Technology. His experiences in college have provided him with the drive to capture and express his appreciation and love for art.
His interest in photography would grow and lead to the purchase of numerous disposable cameras and steadily working (and saving) toward a Canon DSLR.
"For years I have moved my focus into truly finding the moments in life that we may miss or forget through time. To me photography is about appreciating the moment and making it a timeless one each time."
"My father passed down many talents to me and photography was one that I am happy to say he shared (I wish he would have kept the high cholesterol to himself). Prototype is really who I strived to be as an artist. With Photography there is no difference"
Currently Abasi is a proud member of the Harlem Arts Alliance and has been featured in the NY Daily News.
