Clayton James Cubitt (born March 2 1972) is also called Siege is an American photographer filmmaker, writer and photographer living in Brooklyn. He is famous for applying the “arrestingly controlled and sleek sense of style” to the world of portrait, art, as well as fashion photos. He is identified as “one of a new breed of photographers no longer content to draw a distinction between the worlds of fashion, art, and porn.”

As of 2005 Cubitt worked on a collection of generative art with the creative coder Tom Carden. To create the pictures, Cubitt used software that played around with attractors and particles. The program was developed by Carden using the Alpha Version of the Processing Programming Language, and the pictures were published by Metropop Magazine. Cubitt is also famous by the title “Lagos Calling”, an alternate reality story about fashion that reimagined skinhead’s fashion movement as an expression of the late 1960s in Lagos, Nigeria, rather than London. The photos appeared as a series of damaged, resurfaced and worn-out anthropological portraits. The images were used as a stylistic reference in”Going On,” the Gnarls Music video by Barkley to promote “Going On”. Some websites have misrepresented the photos as historical references. Cubitt produced a series titled “Damaged Doll” that featured pornographic actress Justine Joli in a sexual, fashion-forward setting. Two of the pictures were published within The Playground, a collectible boxed set of art deco. Two printers refused to print the artwork because of their explicit nature. Consequently, the book’s editors printed them in-house. But, Barney’s New York refused to sell the set because of the inclusion of two pieces.

In 2012, Cubitt created a video series entitled Hysterical Literature. Shot clinically in black and white, each film shows a fully dressed woman reading a passage from a book of her choice while brought to orgasm by a vibrator controlled by an unseen assistant under the table. The first installment in the video series featured adult performer Stoya reading Necrophilia Variations by Supervert, and has received over twenty-three million views on YouTube as of May 2018. Subsequent videos feature “friends and industry comrades” like Margaret Cho, Toni Bentley and others reading passages from books including Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho and Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass.

In 2016, Cubitt became a vocal supporter of senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. Cubitt photographed war veterans and interviewed them about what Sanders’ candidacy means to them. The images were used by the official Bernie Sanders campaign.

The year 2005 was the time that Cubitt went for the first time to Pearlington, Mississippi, ground zero for Hurricane Katrina after learning that his mother’s home was destroyed. When he arrived, Cubitt began to document the destruction of the area. Cubitt set up an photo studio to conduct interviews and capture Katrina’s survivors as well as volunteers from Pearlington’s former gymnasium. It was also used as a distribution center to help the town. Cubitt posted the stories and photos on his blog that he developed called “Operation Eden.” The blog was a central point for those who were volunteers, people looking to help, as well as people who wanted to know the stories that mainstream media weren’t reporting. The blog was classified as “a powerful piece of citizen journalism.” It was highlighted in MSNBC, LIFE Magazine, and Rolling Stone. Cubitt was back in the region later to capture the survivors of Mississippi as well as New Orleans. His Katrina photos were utilized by the ad agency Grey Worldwide, in conjunction with SAMHSA and the Ad Council, to create a series of PSAs that urged Katrina survivors to seek help.
