Business Info

Frank had been born in 1896 and had been a professional photographer in the same studio since 1932. To put that into context, the Empire State Building was just one year old. For five years Frank trained me not only to take photos initially using Rolleiflex f2.8 cameras, (a tattoo of which I have to celebrate), but also the processing, printing and finishing of my work. In those years and, under Frank's tutelage, I photographed my first solo wedding at the age of 17 but also I began to appreciate the simplicity of photography, it is after all just the manipulation of light. What I was also aware of was that I''d become head over heals in love with the art.

I was just 16 when I had gotten the telephone call from the famous local photographer, it was a Saturday morning in 1980 and I'd just left school. On the following Monday I'd joined a small band of photographers at the studio, Frank Barry Studios in Hayes, Middlesex.
