About Me

In A Few Words

Hi, I'm Adrien Clark, a photojournalist at First Coast News in Jacksonville, Florida.

I capture the stories that shape the First Coast—bearing witness to breaking news, community challenges, local triumphs, and the everyday moments that define life in Northeast Florida. Working for WTLV (NBC 12) and WJXX (ABC 25), I document events as they unfold: from severe weather and political developments to human-interest stories and on-the-ground coverage that informs our viewers.

My role demands speed, accuracy, and empathy. Whether I'm racing to a scene with a camera in hand, framing a live shot under deadline pressure, or editing visuals that bring context and emotion to a report, I’m guided by core journalistic principles: tell the truth, respect those in front of the lens, and deliver images that help people understand their world.

With a background from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I’m driven by a passion for meaningful local visual storytelling. In a region known for its vibrant communities, coastal beauty, and dynamic growth, my goal is to create compelling, honest photographs and video that connect viewers to the issues and people that impact their lives.

When I’m not chasing the next assignment or editing in the field, you’ll often find me exploring Jacksonville’s neighborhoods, walking my dogs (Pug and Husky Mix), or recharging for the unpredictable days ahead.

If you’re an editor, news organization, or collaborator seeking reliable, impactful visual journalism, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect. Browse my portfolio for recent work, and feel free to reach out.
