About Barry Styles
Photography has been a great passion and joy in my life for some 35+ years now. From the '70s when I built my own black & white "wet" darkroom, until today in my digital darkroom. While I particularly enjoy photographing wildlife, I'm also drawn to the abstract, street photography, macro, anything old, rusted or decayed, and essentially anything else that beckons my eye. Some of the images here are scanned from my early black & white 35mm and medium format film negatives, but most will be digital works. I love black & white photography, but I firmly believe that not every image is suited to that 'medium', so I work in both black & white and color as appropriate to my vision of the finished image.
"Photography is not and has never been a completely accurate representation of reality."
