RON FRANCIS IS THE OWNER OF CLEAR IMAGE SOLUTIONS.

​

From my early years as a farm boy in Central Utah, I have loved the land--the smell, the feel, and the beauty it produces.  So, when I was first introduced to a camera I was drawn to the excitement of capturing the beauty around me.  This has been a lifelong pursuit and has grown into a passion for telling a story well--with the aid of video and still images.

​

I received a master's degree in speech, radio and television from Utah State University and began my career as an information officer in the U.S. Army during the Viet Nam War--I was senior photo editor for Army News Features. At the University of Kentucky I was Extension radio and television specialist where I produced many TV news features with a CP 16A sound on film camera. Next stop was manager of information services at the Denver-based National Cattlemen's Association where for 10 years I produced radio features for an 800 NEWSCALL service for broadcasters. I made the big move to Houston, Texas where I served 18 years as director of public affairs for the National Association of Conservation Districts, writing, photographing and producing video to help conserve natural resources on America's private lands. Finally, I spent 13 years as state public affairs specialist for the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Salt Lake City.

​

I retired in 2015 and couldn't kick the habit of telling a good story with compelling images.  I'm now a freelance videographer dba Clear Image Solutions.  I've collected the latest video tools, produced dozens of videos since retirement, and am now ready to meet your needs.
