Observer of quiet Human presence
within modern urban Structures
\\About
Clifford Nathan
is a self-taught photographer whose work centers on observation, quiet human presence, and everyday emotional residue. Working primarily in urban and coastal environments across many developed nations, his practice exists between documentary and poetic street photography.
His long-term body of work, The Observer’s Diary, records moments as they are encountered — without staging, narration, or retrospective construction. The work emphasizes attention over memory, and presence over explanation.
The work is a lifelong, ongoing series of observations spanning different countries.
