2 reviewsMichael Clubb is a photojournalist based in Lexington, Kentucky. Born in Louisville but raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Michael returned to the Bluegrass state to attend the University of Kentucky. After joining the Kentucky Kernel, UK’s independent student newspaper, as a photographer, he soon realized that photography was more than a hobby for him; it would be his career. Now a junior, he is majoring in marketing and continues to work for the Kentucky Kernel— now as managing editor as well as photographer. Though he has shot news and features for the Kernel and other outlets, from a shooting at the Fayette Mall to how local businesses operated on Election Day 2020, Michael especially enjoys shooting sports. UK’s nationally recognized athletics program has allowed Michael many opportunities to photograph large-scale sporting events, such as UK football’s 2018 and 2019 bowl games, the 2019 NCAA men’s basketball Elite Eight, and historic 2020 basketball and football games played under COVID-19 protocols. Michael’s work has gained state, national and international recognition. Most notably, he was recently named Kentucky News Photographers Association Sports Photographer of the Year, competing against journalism professionals as well as against fellow students; in 2020, he earned an Award of Excellence from the College Photographer of the Year association for his Sports Portfolio. A full list of his accolades, including first-place finishes at the state and national level, can be found on his resume. Michael is available for freelance assignments. Contact him at x
