About Me
My latest endeavor as a still photographer for the past five years has brought a hobby in to the mainstream of my business as a freelancer in the production industry.
Photographing photo journalism, wedding, portraits, Model portfolio’s, high fashion and local fashion shows for Semper Fashion, Portland Fashion Week and other NW fashion events has been a great creative outlet. I began my career as a videographer in 1986 after graduating from Jefferson Performing Arts High School in Portland, Oregon, as a television production major. For the first several years, I shot professional sports, as well as live corporate events and educational videos. My next move was to an internationally syndicated television show Fishing the West as a production assistant. I spent the first year and a half shooting commercial and product shots in a dark studio for our sponsors. The long dark hours paid off, with the commercial production crew winning several national awards for our work. I was then assigned to the field crew where my additional duties included recording audio, taking notes for the director, and moving hundreds of pounds of equipment through the wilderness. After the director of the show saw that I was worth my salt I became the "B" field cameraman for the last two years with the show. Scenic and "fish-on" moments that I had been watching and learning about were now in glorious black and white in my viewfinder. In 1998 I was approached by Hunting With Hank's director, Bob Corley, and asked if I was interested in becoming the reserve "B" cameraman for the program. I jumped at the chance. The fishing show had ceased production several years before and I was back to doing corporate and some motion picture work. I shot several shows in Hank's third season, and with the retirement of David Bogan, I was assigned to the crew full time as the "B" cameraman. Branded affectionately by Dez Young as "The Kid", my youthfulness and ability to follow Hank through the open fields and woods of North America brings a balance to the three-man, one dog crew. My years of production have always been wondering and at times frustrating but my passion for the performing arts, live events and video production no matter what the subject has always held strong. It is that reason that I have stayed with my folly for so many years. Verified Credits (0)Worked with B Barnett Photography? Share your experience and become verified! Add Credits
