Colin Barker: Photographer
Colin Barker has amassed over 25 years experience working as a professional photographer, and has always felt encouraged by the positive reaction to his sensitive approach towards the whole image making process. Based near Petworth, West Sussex with his partner and their two whippets, Colin continues his creative development, whilst his eye for graphic detail and love for reportage has enabled him to capture a large collection of memorable images for his solo photographic exhibitions and equine studies.
Having just completed a photographic project that included capturing images of working heavy horses, between commissions Colin has joined forces with Farokh to embrace the challenges of conceptualising and capturing a collection of images from around the globe thereby promoting awareness of the Caspian horse.
Examples of Colin’s equine work can be found on his website at www.colinbarker.co.uk
