It was as a newspaper photographer, that Clarkson began his work, with coverage of the 1989 book burning in his home city of Bradford, following the publication of Salman Rushdie's controversial book The Satanic Verses. The pictures were published widely, including The Independent, Sunday Telegraph, New Statesman/Society, New Internationalist and Channel 4 Television as well as 1989 'Pictures of the Year' in The Guardian newspaper.
Garry studied film at the University of Westminster (1994) and an MA in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales, Newport (2005), after which he worked on editorial and exhibition projects, notably: Libération (France), Saturday Times Magazine (UK), and Dominical (Spain). 

In 2003, Garry began a photographic survey of the burgeoning father’s rights movement in the UK, culminating in several published photo stories and exhibitions; notably, La Repubblica 'D' magazine (Italy) and Time magazine (UK). The subsequent impact of this included documentary photographs, informing public policy; such as the publication of A Blueprint for Family Law by Matt O’Connor, Gary Burch and Barrister Michael Cox presented to the UK government in 2006.

In 2008 Garry was selected as one of 70 participants of 900 photographers from 42 countries to take part in the Descubrimientos (Discoveries) platform for the promotion and dissemination of works by ‘emerging international photographers’. This forum, at the Community of Madrid’s Council of Culture, was part of Photo España photography festival and Garry was one of the 5 eventual finalists interviewed in a special supplement in the Spanish newspaper El País.

Since 2018, works on major international thematic exhibitions  and education workshops alongside film production work.
