Photographer: Alan Barnett
Alan Barnett grew up in Union, New Jersey. The son of a math teacher and an art director, he became an art director himself and worked for publishers designing books and marketing materials. In 1994, he left to start his own graphic design firm in New York City. Alan soon discovered that his love of fine art photography was a perfect complement to his skills as an art director. He enrolled in classes at the International Center of Photography and studied under H. Eugene Foster, Harvey Stein, and Joel Meyerowitz. Alan is currently working on a long-term project on what it means to be a firefighter.
Artist's Statement
I make photographs to create meaning by editing my world into fragments that when removed from the larger environment, speak even greater truths. I use my camera as a means to explore both familiar and unfamiliar worlds, relating with people and places to gain an understanding of the harmony and discord that combine to create engaging images. I aim to separate subject and content to explore their relationship or the friction that may at times result in unforeseen meaning.
