Nigel Barker
Nigel Barker, commonly known for his work as a judge and photographer on America's Next Top Model, was an inspiration for my photographs. Many of Barker's photographs use representational art as opposed to abstract art. The work Barker produces leaves the viewer thinking of the story of the person or subject, as opposed to questioning what he/she is looking at. Many of his photographs use lighting techniques to emphasize parts of the subject he wants to highlight. Nigel Barker is a leading photographer for fashion, beauty, and entertainment. Also, Barker uses his talents to be a philanthropist for causes such as the ASPCA, Make a Wish Foundation, and The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
