One of the VERY best. PERIOD. A tremendous model scout, as well as being a fabulous fashion photographer, Clayton DELIVERS, in both mediums. I never hesitate to fully utilize his talents.
Ron Girard
Agency Director, Next Management of Miami, Florida
I have worked with Clayton for 7 or more years. He is an amazing photographer, and produces photos that work!! In promoting a model it is imperative as an agent that we get images that will get a model hired. Clayton can do that! Clayton also has a great eye for new faces and is a wonderful resource in many areas. Thank you Clayton, Susan

I always know that when I send a girl to Clayton that we will get exactly the pictures that we are looking for. We have worked together for twenty years, and his eye as a model scout is as right on as ever.

We at Click have been both fortunate and delighted to have had the good luck to be able to work with Clayton Nelson, both as a photographer and a model scout, since 1993. As seen on this website, his work simply speaks for itself, and rings with a crisp and clean clarity. His work as one of the top model scouts in the USA is widely known and appreciated in the industry. We at Click Models feel that our relationship with Clayton has been a mutually beneficial one, and we remain confident that it will continue, long into the future.

When I found myself in need of a top level photographer who was able to take a concept, visualize it, create it, and lend it acute visibility, I contacted Clayton Nelson. Believe me, he did not disappoint. He supplied every single aspect of the creative process. Model, lighting, computer post production, advertising concept, all of it. It was a pleasant departure to only have to supply my product, sit back, and watch the end result take shape. I would not hesitate to recommend Clayton's services to anyone in need of a top level fashion photographer. His work resides at an entirely different level than the one which I am accustomed to.

Owner, Fashion-Fresh Pearls
Working with Clayton Nelson was one of the very best experiences for our models at the Rocky Mountain Entertainment Agency. Our models recieved valuable experience with a seasoned working photographer, and now, their portfolios are that much more ready to be seen by large market clients. I do not hesitate to recommend both models and agents alike to invest in the Clayton Nelson experience.

I have known Clayton Nelson for nearly 20 years. He has consistently discovered some of the very best working models in the business, and has placed them with top model agencies around the world. Here's to a long and continued business relationship between Red Model Management and Clayton Nelson.
Allen Osborne
Agency Director, Red Model Management of NYC
I have been an agent for over 20 years, and have known Clayton Nelson since I began in the Fashion Industry. Clayton is actually more of an artist than a photographer. So few can capture the essence of what the model and the agent need to market the model as well as Clayton does. He has an AMAZING eye for scouting new talent, taking OUTSTANDING images, and placing the model with the right agent, suitable for both the madel and agent. I consistently send models to Clayton to shoot because I absolutely know that I will get marketable images. I always look forward to hearing from Clayton when he sends me a new model whom he has discovered, as I know that the model will be a moneymaker. THANKS, CLAYTON!!!

Each and every time Clayton shoots one of my new girls, they come back to me not only with amazing shots, but more with the knowledge about how to do their job. Without fail, each girl comes back exclaiming, "I learned so much!" You can see from his impressive body of work that he is a great shooter, that goes without saying, but we always appreciate the time he takes with each girl to get the shot right and teach tham the tricks of the trade while he works.

"The truth is that Clayton is one of the best in the business. I have worked with photographers in NYC, Milan, LA, and Miami. I don't think that there is another photographer out there who is more honest, and professional. Plus, his eye for a good shot is remarkable!"
Andy Peeke

We at Click Models have worked with Clayton since 1993, when he was the Director of Scouting for the New York offices of Click, and we have long worked with him in his capacity as a working fashion photographer, as well. His photos are truly brilliant, each one resembling a work of art. Beauty, clarity, and most importantly, the model's personality shines, especially with our Click kids. As a model scout, to me, there is no one better. Most of our top earning models are amazing talents that Clayton Nelson has found for us.!
