    "An endless stream of beautiful, creative, striking images.

    I always come back here, like in my preferred museums, but I'm so glad to see the old favorites are still there, along with the new discoveries."

    "My first photo shoot with Barry went way beyond my expectations.
    Not only was he extremely professional but he was absolutely cool to work with.
    He has an amazing eye for detail, light and composition.
    Yes, a perfectionist but not controlling about you as the model but rather he has high expectations about the quality of his work.
    There is not one photograph that he took that I do not adore.
    I enjoyed working with Barry immensely and hope that I have the honor to do so again."

    "Barry's serious about about his photography. I have to say that his nudes are thoughtful, different, beautiful, respectful, sexy, eloquent, and certainly artistic. I believe he has an honest approach to his subjects, and I always enjoy viewing his results."

    Selva Solimar Fotography says:

    "I have been following and studying Barry's "bodyscapes", for some time and was elated when I received his email with a request to consider posing for him. I have always been drawn to natural lighting and outdoor work, as a fotographer and model, so working with Barry would be my "test" of working "in studio". I accepted with anticipation!

    He shared the images with me the same day of our shoot...I was awed by them!

    A photographer's photographer...he is truly a perfectionist at heart, but as he said, "the imperfections are what intrigue him"! I admire his work ethic and look forward to many more projects with him! MUAH!!! ~ Selva Solimar"

    "I have known Barry for a long time and he has always been very professional, fun and easy to model for. I am constantly amazed at what he can do with the camera. Many times I can't believe it's me!
    He is always open to my creative ideas as well; it's like feeding the fire with him. I hope many more will pose for him."

    "my english is not good, write about the barry´s job is write about the beauty.
    His photos are unique, he know catch the beauty of a woman, sometimes in crops, sometimes in the full pic, he is a genious in the use of the grain and the sepia tones.

    Barry, you are the man!

    I love your pics."

    "I love Barry's work. It was obvious when I first looked at his nudes that he knows well how to use subtlety and understatement in his compositions. I find Barry's style of shooting through an aperture to reveal parts of his subject refreshing and interesting. Nice, thoughtful work - I'm a fan.
