Through sharing his work on Instagram (his handle inspired by a reference to his former “gauche” style of cowboy hats and socks with sandals), Clifton’s practice has evolved from lockdown self-portraits to go-to portraitist. Now shooting with both film and digital, he is a regular contributor to Interview. His portraits include Christopher Meloni (where the actor was captured wearing CDLP Home), Bowen Yang, Jeremy O. Harris, Jon Kung, and Ryan O’Connell.
