Clyde K. Jno Baptiste

I was born in New York and raised in the Caribbean, a blend of cultures that shaped both my perspective and my creativity. As a young boy, I’d look at cameras and assume they were far too complex to master. But in 2019, I challenged myself to try something new and purchased my first DSLR—a Nikon D3500. That decision opened a door I didn’t even know I needed. Since then, I’ve upgraded my equipment and pushed myself to grow with every project, because I firmly believe growth never stops.

Sports photography quickly became my passion. I’m fascinated by the intensity, emotion, and split-second moments that define an athlete’s story. Whether it’s football, cricket, or track and field, I aim to create images that feel alive—photos that don’t just show what happened, but make you feel the moment. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong eye for timing, movement, and clean composition, supported by a solid technical foundation in lighting, fast-action shooting, and digital editing.

Currently, I work as a freelance photographer with a primary focus on sports, but my work extends beyond the field. I regularly cover major events and national functions for the Government of Dominica, where I capture everything from cultural celebrations to official ceremonies. This has strengthened my versatility and ability to work in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.

I’ve had the privilege of photographing assignments for West Indies Cricket, The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the Dominica Football Association, the Dominica Festivals Committee, the Dominica Cricket Association, Straffon Images, and other regional partners. These opportunities have allowed me to document international tournaments, qualifiers, high-profile matches, and major national events across the Caribbean.

I’m available for portraits, event coverage, sports assignments, and media content creation—and I’m always willing to travel. My goal is simple: to produce meaningful, high-quality images that reflect authenticity, emotion, and a story worth remembering.
