Acclaimed Director/DP and Photographer Craig Barker joins Foundation where he will bring his definitive vision and style to a variety of projects. His unique skill in capturing beauty on film and presenting it as art has earned him a Clio nomination and honors at the New York Film Festival, American Film Institute, and the Ad Club. A self-described compulsive artist, Barker wasn’t content with just one aspect of the creative process. He expanded his directorial skills to begin serving as his own Director of Photography. "My desire to learn how to get the results I was going for on film prompted me to begin doing my own photography for my directorial efforts and now I am just as comfortable doing both,” says Barker.
Barker’s work has been featured in Variety, Billboard, Millimeter and Film and Video and in ads for A-list clients including Gucci, Vidal Sassoon, Sephora, Disney, Microsoft, Nissan and Acura. The list of celebrities lensed by Barker is as diverse as rocker Alice Cooper, President Bill Clinton, soul diva Chaka Kahn, super model Cheryl Tiegs, and boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya. A true artist with an unceasing curiosity, Barker’s passion for travel, art, film and literature informs his visual aesthetic resulting in work that is intuitive, clean and always surprising.
His teaming up with Foundation grows out of the desire to collaborate with like-minded individuals who value his creative aesthetic and expertise.
