Photographer Overview
With over twenty years of commercial experience, Barry Willis produces powerful and engaging imagery for editorial, corporate and advertising clients worldwide.
“I love the collaboration of working with a creative team on large productions, but equally, I relish the individual approach when I’m shooting editorial stories or personal work”.
Much of Barry’s commercial work is informed by a stripped-back, storytelling reportage style of photography. Whether it’s directing professional models to an upbeat lifestyle brief, gaining the confidence of vulnerable people in his work with charity sector clients, or having to persuade an unsuspecting public to perform for the camera, Barry’s empathy with his subject is an integral part of his creative approach as a professional photographer.
“Barry has the understanding and insight to get under the skin of any project we have worked on, a great people focused photographer who turns the mundane into the exceptional.”
