Today we’d like to introduce you to Barry Polk.
Hi Barry, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve been fortunate enough to embark on a photography journey that has helped me uncover a talent instilled in me by a GOD who I serve above me. Through persistent practice, I’ve developed my artistic vision, photographing a diverse array of subjects. As a self-taught photographer, I’ve benefited greatly from YouTube’s educational resources. This journey has led to collaborations with esteemed professionals like Kithe Brewster and Marc Baptiste. My motivation comes from my three children, Lorez, Londyn, and Peyton, as well as my loving family. I specialize in capturing life’s varied moments, from the planned to the spontaneous. With Charleston, SC as my home base, I travel for inspiring projects, continually refining my craft to deliver outstanding results and empower my clients.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
nitially, I faced challenges in establishing an effective process. Given the collaborative nature of the work and the time-sensitive environment, I sought to develop a streamlined process from start to finish to ensure a positive first impression. Capturing and editing photos proved to be the most straightforward aspect. However, I quickly realized that it was only one component of achieving excellence and efficiency.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As a self-taught professional, I have cultivated a diverse skill set. I derive great pleasure from creating original work. In addition to my styling expertise, I have also developed skills in digital editing, allowing me to add natural-looking makeup enhancements. My ability to produce outstanding images during freestyle sessions is a key differentiator.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I find it rewarding to see others happy and watch confidence unfold one camera snap at a time, which confirms my perspective.
