TO SAY THAT BOB CARLOS Clarke was successful is understatement to the extreme. He practically invented his own style and is best known for his powerful images of beautiful women clad in rubber, latex or nothing at all. He was wealthy and enjoyed a large house in Chelsea. He had a beautiful wife, Lindsey, to whom he’d been married for 20 years, and a daughter, Scarlett. But Carlos Clarke also had a darker side and suffered from depression. Those who knew Carlos Clarke often describe a different man: someone who craved attention, who was terrified of rejection and who was often obsessive and paranoid about his work. Depression afflicted his mother too, as well as an uncle who killed himself at the age of 14. And it was depression that would claim Carlos Clarke’s life too.
