Barry was an art director for years. Twenty to be exact. In ad agencies such as Ogilvy and DDB.

Then he bought a camera and made some portraits. Images started showing up in magazines, on CDs, in galleries and museums.

What does he attribute his success as a photographer to? Being an art director for twenty years. Before he had a camera, he had a sketchbook.
