Clark was the "master generalists". He worked in almost all areas of photography and has won numerous awards, including a successful advertising campaign. His rare portraits of celebrities, made at different places in the period from 1971 to 1998 are stored at the National portrait gallery. Among them are portraits of Elton John, Marco Pierre white, Rachel Weisz, Mick Jagger, Ronnie wood and Bryan ferry.
