Barry Wayne first was introduced to photography during his freshman year of high school through a photojournalism darkroom class. For the next many years he would pick up and put down his camera while exploring other interests such as bassist for classical, jazz and rock music, track and field, exercise physiology and psychology at university. After college in 2001 Barry, like so many others, moved to Los Angeles where the opportunities to work in film, television, music and photography were abundant. It would take another 3 years, a 6-month bout of homelessness, several menial mind-numbing jobs and a chance encounter to work for the President of Talent at Gersh Agency (now President of talent at ICM) for Barry to see that photography was his direction.
For the past many years Barry has been focusing solely on photography working as an assistant for other photographers in the Fashion, Editorial, Commercial, Advertising and Wedding realms to gain insight and knowledge. In late 2007 he ran a small photo studio in downtown Los Angeles, with then business partner Chris Kilkus, where he began shooting local up-and-coming actors, models, and musicians. While still at the studio he had the chance to work with famous and incredibly talented photographer Kurt Iswarienko in late 2008. Within the next 5 months Barry would transition into a fulltime position with Kurt as a photo and lighting assistant and eventually move into helping with pre-production. While with Kurt, Barry would meet and become close friends with one of the best photo-retouchers and photo-compositors in Los Angeles, Jeff Gunthart, where Barry grew his abilities as a retoucher and photo compositor.
Barry has lived all over Los Angeles from Santa Monica during his homeless days to North Hollywood, West Hollywood, Hancock park, South Pasadena, Echo Park, Silverlake and finally, calling home, to the North Bel-Air vicinity near Mulholland Dr.
