Self-taught in the photographic arts, Barry maintained an interest in photography while completing both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Jumping into the rat race and despite an increasingly hectic work schedule, he continued his photography whenever possible. Beginning in 1997, Barry began a full-time career in freelance photography and writing.

Preferring the vibrancy of color photography, he focuses on images capturing the natural beauty found around us. None of the colors or subjects in his photographic images have been enhanced in any way. From the cobalt blue skies and dazzling white sands of a South Pacific motu to the soothing interplay of autumn colors gracing an Alpine waterfall, these images display the very best that nature has to offer.

His trips across the country and a love for travel around the world have enabled him to photograph many beautiful locations. Among his favorites are the lush, plumeria-scented islands of Polynesia, the boulder-strewn beaches of Seychelles, the elegant countryside of Europe, and the rich diversity found throughout California.

Barry photographs in both 35mm and medium formats using Nikon, Hasselblad, and Fuji camera systems.
