swpp member Brian BarrettBrian Barrett

Brian has won more than awards than 400 Wedding and Portrait awards in the UK including Fuji Wedding Photographer of the Year, Agfa Portrait Photographer of the year, Craftsman of the Year for the Guild of Wedding Photographers and the Lord Lichfield Trophy awarded by the BIPP.

He is one of only a handful of British Photographers to appear more than twice in the Professional Photographers of America Loan Collection alongside Charles Green and Peter Dyer.

Brian has been booked by the Professional Photographers' Society of New York, to speak at their Photo Imaging Workshop from 22nd to 27th July 2007. This is some of what they say about him:

"Brian is a beacon for those who not only want to master their craft but also have the desire and enthusiasm to keep learning. His current wedding and portrait work is innovative and challenging but above all combines digital photography with contemporary influences in posing and lighting."

"He has had to embrace technology and the move from 'film only' in a way that clearly demonstrates his camera craft and understanding of consumer trends and needs."

"When asked about his teaching style Brian has always been reluctant to take enough credit for his ability to blend theory and practical sessions in a way that never makes the people with him feel in any way inferior. A close work college described him as The Pied Piper in saying that once Brian had a camera in his hand everyone followed him. He went on to add that Brian's obvious love of his work and his steely determination to become better was evident in everything he did."

Brian Barrett has an Exhibition here.

Photo Quote: When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without. - Ansel Adams
